The man who accepts himself as he is; the man with equanamity, empathy for others, and compassion. This man feels more love within than any man who is loved by numerous others but does not love or accept himself as he is.
The Cheyenne creation myth as retold by Alice Marriot and Carol Rachlin is similar to the Christian creation story. It basically tells of how Maheo, the "All Spirit" created the heavens and the earth.
Maheo is the creator of all things - the All Spirit. He has the power to create anything. In his solitary existence, he decided it would be beneficial to create living things. So he created, in turn - the ocean with a sand and mud floor, water beings (fish, mussels, snails, crawfish), birds of all sorts, and light. A female snow goose came to him and asked for the ability to fly, which he granted. The birds thus took flight and darkened the sky. They grew tired, and a male loon came to him and asked for land. Maheo granted it, but to do so he needed the help of all the sea creatures, so that they might find land. The snow goose went down to the bottom of the sea - well, tried, more like. She could not find any land for Maheo to work off of. Then all of the others tried with no avail. Finally a little coot paddled to him and he too tried to find land. Unlike the others who flew and dove into the water, he just turned and swam. After being gone for an extremely long time, he returned with mud. Maheo used it to create land, using an old female turtle to put it on, forming the earth. Having done this, he gave the planet trees, grass, and flowers. He created from himself two humans - a man and a woman - to show his love for the turtle. Those two had many children (which had more, etc) and seperated. He gave the people animals to eat or use however they needed, and then the buffalo to serve all needs.

Why is it bad luck to walk under a ladder?
The practical reason why walking under a ladder is considered bad luck is that it’s just plain dangerous. The more superstitious theory is that the shape of a ladder against a wall forms a triangle, a symbol of the Holy Trinity in Christianity. Some believe that walking under a ladder would “break” the Trinity, a blasphemous act that could attract the devil.
That's not the only explanation, though. Some believe a ladder against a wall resembles a gallows (associated with death by hanging), and the ancient Egyptians believed walking under a ladder could accidentally allow you to see a god climbing up or down it.

How do vampires feed on humans without infecting them?
Cut them instead of biting them and then drinking their blood. But if they want the human to live they might want to rush them to hospital straight after, as they could have lost a lot of blood.
Either that or they just don't bite as hard, as they must be able to control when they turn someone into a vampire.
Unless sanitary precautions are taken infection is constantly effected. The thing is, only if a human dies while in the active stage of the infection do they become a vampire, and even then there is much that can go wrong. If a human victim is 'lightly used' then there is little risk of death resulting and they become immune to the vampire contagion. Such is the condition of many thralls. After they become immune to the contagion there is no chance of them becoming a vampire even when they die. It is only in the initial 'window of opportunity' that creating a vampire is possible.
In superstition over which shoulder should one throw salt?
Right is wrong. Here is the answer: Superstitions about salt date back to Biblical times when salt was a highly prized commodity. It was expensive, crucial in preserving food, and was often used in lieu of currency. So spilling salt was considered an almost sacrilegious offence, and left one perilously exposed to the devil's machinations.
Throwing salt over your shoulder is akin to blessing someone after they've sneezed -- it's a way of keeping the devil at bay while you're in an especially vulnerable moment. Depending on your interpretation, the salt is either intended to blind the devil so he can't witness your error, or keep him from sneaking up on you while you're cleaning up your mess.
It's important to note that the superstition calls for the offender to throw salt over the left shoulder. Many ancient traditions place the devil to the left of the straight and narrow path. The classic image of a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other often shows the sinister imp sitting on the left side.
And if you want to really follow the letter of the law, you're encouraged to throw the salt with your "good," or right hand. Throughout history, the association of right with good and left with bad caused a number of perfectly respectable left-handed people to be burned at the stake. Not good.
