Superstitions

Well, here is something I learned about bad luck while organizing my collage books (from the Daily Guide to Funk and Wagnalls New Standard Encyclopedia). "The ladder was a legendary connection with the Crucifixion. It is said that as a ladder was erected to bring down the Body for burial, Satan went underneath and tried to push it over; consequently, to go under a ladder is to associate oneself with the Devil."
