Friday the 13th will happen twice in 2017: today and in
October. In many parts of the world, it’s considered an unlucky day. It’s
amazing how many apparently random things are seen as lucky or unlucky. Walking
under a ladder is unlucky. Is it because something (or someone) might drop on
you? Opening an umbrella is bad luck, maybe because you’re liable to get
rainwater on the floor or to poke someone in the eye. Besides, if you NEED an umbrella indoors, you've got bigger problems than luck. When you find a penny and
pick it up, on the other hand, it’s supposed to be very lucky thing. I
absolutely subscribe to this one. Every single time I see an abandoned penny, I
pocket it. At the very least, it’s made me one penny richer. A rabbit’s foot is
also considered good luck. I can’t quite wrap my head around that one. It was
clearly not lucky for the rabbit, right?
