Today is the 13th day of VEDA. Wait, does that mean this video is unlucky?
Or lucky, maybe? Or maybe 13 is just a freaking number that
comes after 12 and before 14. We'll see.

Hi there, I'm Roberto. Hope you guys are doing well.
Superstitions, they just make me shake my head.
I mean, seriously, what's wrong with the number 13?
What makes people so afraid of it? They take it out of elevators and all of a
sudden buildings jump from the 12th floor to the 14th.
People are so afraid of Friday the 13th... Poor guy, he's going to have to wait 'til
September. And in Greece, Spain and Latin America they
are afraid of Tuesday the 13th. Come on; I just don't get it!
And what can possibly be wrong with black cats?
Do we have to be racist even in our superstitions? Yeah, you tell 'em Business Cat!
And what's the problem with walking under a ladder?
OK that one can bring you some bad luck. If someone is working on top of the ladder
and you knock the ladder over, be prepared to pay.
And I mean literally pay! You or your parents might get sued.
You'll have medical bills to pay, and who knows!
Will breaking a mirror bring you seven years of bad luck?
No but it will bring you plenty of minutes of frustration sweeping broken glass off the
floor or the carpet. And what's wrong with opening an umbrella
inside? Okay, that one can get you into some trouble
if there is a ceiling fan or a chandelier nearby when you open the umbrella, so be careful.
In Puerto Rico we have this one that if you tell somebody about a dream you have, it won't
come true. Yeah right! I've had plenty of bad dreams
that I haven't told people and they still haven't come true.
The same way I've had many good dreams that I've kept to myself and I'm still waiting
on them to come true. I don't know who's crazier, the people who
make up these superstitions or those who keep following them.
But let's have a little fun at their expense. Do you know of any other crazy superstitions?
