Friday The 13th!

It's today. Do you believe all the superstition associated with bad luck on this day? I will make up my mind based on who has the better opinions on this.

If you consider driving to and from the DMV 3-4 times within 3 hours bad luck, then sure yea, I ran into some non-good luck today.

Yea, see? Your opinion swayed me to the "I believe in bad luck on Friday the 13th day" opinion.

Don't get excited though, because someone with a better opinion can sway me to the other direction.

I just opened the fridge and found some really really really yummy watermelon. Yay for good luck!

Here is what Urban Legends says:

It is said: If 13 people sit down to dinner together, all will die within the year. The Turks so disliked the number 13 that it was practically expunged from their vocabulary (Brewer, 1894). Many cities do not have a 13th Street or a 13th Avenue. Many buildings don't have a 13th floor. If you have 13 letters in your name, you will have the devil's luck (Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Theodore Bundy and Albert De Salvo all have 13 letters in their names). There are 13 witches in a coven.

So yea, make sure you count the number of letters in your name, and hope it's not thirteen.

Ok, I can understand the freaking out about the number 13, but why Friday? Friday's such a good day. Why put a black mark on its record?

Why not Mondays? Now THERE'S a day to hate. All things that could go wrong DO go wrong on MONDAYS.

"Sounds like someone's got a case of the MONDAYS!" Hahahahhaha

yes, there is a good reason to hate mondays; most heart attacks do occur on monday; especially early in the morning between 6 am and 10 am... don't ask me why, your guess is as good as mine...

That is not coincidence, since stress and the daily grind begin on Monday, and peoples' worries begin there too!
