Friday the Thirteenth

Friday the 13th

Take a look at your calendar. Tomorrow is Friday the 13th!

You may not take drastic safety precautions every Friday the 13th, but are you totally immune to the superstition? Given the choice, would you get married, start a new job or close on a house on Friday the 13th? Most Americans wouldn’t, even though they don’t put much stock in the idea. Superstition has a way of creeping up on people when they’re in a particularly vulnerable state.

How Stuff Works explains why we associate Friday the 13th with bad luck. Link

    I’ve never really understood the superstition. I was born on one (in fact my birthday’s tomorrow) and the worst it’s ever done to me was back-to-back chemistry and physics exams in high school.

    Not many people would start a job on Friday anyway.
