What do rabbits, bananas, and Fridays have in common?
According to generations of sailors, they can all bring terrible luck to a voyage.
In this episode of Certified Nonsense, we dive into the strange world of maritime superstitions to uncover why sailors refused to say the word "rabbit," why many fishing boats still ban bananas, and why some captains avoided setting sail on Fridays.
Along the way we investigate the legendary HMS Friday, explore the origins of these bizarre beliefs, and attempt to calculate the ultimate Bad Luck Index: a rabbit carrying a banana boarding a ship on a Friday morning.
Can multiple superstitions stack together to create a black hole of misfortune? Or do they cancel each other out like a double negative?
The history is real.
The mathematics are questionable.
Which makes it Certified Nonsense.
