Nothing really captures the moment quite like the clearest voice emerging from Columbia being an ass-ignorant business school clown shrieking that peaceful free expression is making him uncomfortable in the middle of his preferred genocide.
Don't Walk Under Ladders is what clued me in to the practical origins of most superstitions. Like duh shit falls off ladders. Though Hats on Beds I'm still not sure about. Mercury poisoning?
