Creation Myth
I have been having a really hard time choosing witch creation myth to chose, first I wanted to do the Hawaiian creation story but then I read some of the names of their gods and places and decided that I should be able to at least pronounce the names if I was going to talk about them. So I eventually decided to do the Egyptians creation story, I have always been very interested in their gods so I thought it would be nice to learn about their theory.
coincidence?
So last Saturday some of family came to town to kind of celebrate my birthday, which is on Wednesday. We ended up having a late breakfast or brunch at the Nova Cafe, and my little sister had a smoothie and was just drinking it like there was no tomorrow. After awhile I look at her and say, don't drink of it before your food gets here, and before I could even finish my sentence the waitress walks up with our food. My sister just starts laughing like crazy and tells me that I have to use that for my Mythologies class. This just makes me wonder if coincidences have more of a reason for happening than just randomly working out that way.

Superstitions
I, like many others I'm sure, have some superstitions like don't put shoes on the table, don't open umbrellas inside the house. So I started wondering where some of these came from. I read that the umbrella was used to protect against the sun and opening one inside is to insult the local sun god like Ra. I wonder if anyone knows how any others have started?
