Walking under a ladder isn't myth or superstition. It's just plain unsafe. It got that reputation back in the middle ages during the construction of the great cathedrals ... for the same reason it's unsafe today. Walk under a ladder, and you might disturb the guy up on the ladder. He might fall off or he might drop something on you. And if he happens to be a hod carrier for stone masons, what he drops ain't gonna do you much good, even if you're wearing a hard hat, which they didn't back in those days. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
