OK, I must admit - I had believed eating too many peanuts will make my nose bleed til I read this thread!
I heard that this is kind of a play on words.
clipping your nails at night = 夜爪を切る
- 夜 has the same pronunciation as 世(world, life)
- 爪 sounds like つめる(to shorten)
So, it leads to this superstition, clipping your nail at night can make your life shorter!
I know these beliefs are just beliefs, but I can't help acting on these supersitions just to avoid bad luck
