It's Friday the 13th!  So is today a lucky day?

Stevie Wonder sang about days like this in his song "Superstition":  stevie-wonder

Very superstitious, writings on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders 'bout to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.

So whether you're triskaidekaphobic (afraid of the number 13) or you like to tempt fate by walking under a ladder, today we bring you some well-known superstitions--and a few that might be new to you!

And if you're going to avoid those black cats anyway, you might as well save some money in the process.  With that in mind, we've got a deal for every superstition listed here.

So yes--today is definitely your lucky day.

It's bad luck to whistle in a theater! Why?  Centuries ago, stagehands were often sailors on hiatus between voyages.  Sailors used to whistle to signal that ropes needed to be pulled on the ship; whistling in the theater would result in someone pulling a rope that often had a sandbag on the other end.  Those were some heavy sandbags, too--they balanced the heavy scenery or curtains.

If you break a mirror, you'll have seven years of bad luck.  The glass mirror was introduced during the Roman Empire, and the Romans believed that the human body was physically rejuvenated every seven years--so the consequence of breaking a mirror would stay with a person until he became a new man, seven years later!

Don't open an umbrella indoors! It's not because you could break Mom's favorite vase--it's because umbrellas were originally used as sun protection, and it would anger the sun god if an umbrella was opened indoors, where there was no sunshine.

It's bad luck to walk under a ladder. That's because if a ladder was long enough for a person to walk under, it was used to get a body off the lynching pole. If someone were to walk under it, they would meet death.
