Starting today, a new featured column is kicking off. No it is not 13th but its a Friday! This Featured column is 'Random Potluck'. One word will be typed in Google and 'I'm Feeling Lucky' feature will be used. The first site that comes up will be talked about for what it's worth. So Happy SEOing! The Word of the Day is (any guesses...no not 13, that's next and no not Random, that will be after 13) - It is LUCKY Lucky took me to - Lucky Magazines (luckymag.com) Lucky Magazine is a Condé Nast Publication.

Of course there are many more but I made a list of most famous ones that we always hear and come across. #1. Black Cats This is perhaps the most famous of them all and its almost universal. In Egyptian times, black cats were considered holy and worshiped. Things changed along the way and Black Cats unfortunately turned unlucky for some reason. I call it Racism! Though there are many versions of the black cat omen, but the one I hear often is a Black Cat crossing your path. I remember driving along one of the roads and this bike was trying to overtake me.

But I guess since I was born on the 13th I must have reinstated the belief of the number being unlucky :) for a devil was born The fear of the number 13 is called Triskaidekaphobia while the fear of Friday the 13t...
