Friday the 13th


Tomorrow it's here again. Friday the 13th. In addition to the sometimes scary movies of the same name (the one set in outer space was truly horrible) there are some real superstitions people believe in. For instance, having an itchy nose means you will have an argument with someone or perhaps it's allergies. It's good luck to carry an acorn? If you find a penny face up, pick it up. If you find a $20 bill, pick it up whether it's face up or down! When playing cards, it's unlucky to have your back to the fireplace, presumably worse luck if you're wearing a flammable shirt! Don't believe some of these? Check out oldsuperstitions.com. And of course, don't walk under a ladder...a hammer or bucket of paint falling on your head would be bad luck!
