Enter those "lucky" numbers

So tomorrow is July 7, 2007. ... 7/7/07. There's this big hype about it being a "lucky" day. I consider myself a somewhat superstitious person: I won't walk under a ladder; open an umbrella inside; step on a crack, if I can help it; or tempt karma by being purposely malicious. But this 7/7/07 lucky thing is a crock o' poo cooked up by casinos and lottery commissions. You've heard them, I'm sure, the commercials touting a casino's ability to fall victim to true luck, or play the better odds a buy several lottery tickets!
Also drawn to the day's date are wedding planners and weddings aplenty. Brides all over the country begged, pleaded, coerced and cried over getting this day for their weddings. Eva Longoria, the actress from Desperate Housewives, has fallen victim to the hype. She and basketball star Tony Parker are tying the knot tomorrow. What all these brides don't realize is that no matter what date they choose for their wedding day, their husbands will still forget it.
