Friday the 13th
Well today being Friday the 13th my day started off with me falling down a flight of stairs first thing this morning.
Anything bad happen to you?
Do you believe in bad luck or just like to have an excuse (like me) to blame your clumsiness/stupidity/carlessness on?

I don't believe in luck. Good or bad.
Been a routine day so far.

In the middle of the night, my dog's stomach rejected last night's supper, so I had the pleasure of cleaning up doggy diarrhea this morning. Boooo.

Seeing as most don't seem to even know the historical significance of how Friday the 13th came to be, makes me wonder why anyone even worries about it.

I thought everyone knew it was Jason Voorhees' birthday.

Yeah, dude I've heard about 14 different reasons why Friday the 13th was supposedly deemed an unlucky day, and none of them really have any solid evidence to back up being the "Historical Significance" of the superstition. Including (what I assume you're alluding to) the arresting of the Knights Templar on Friday the 13th.

Alright, then enlighten us.
What is the historical significance of Friday the 13th.
Cause if you're gonna say the Knights Templar thing, then yeah, I'd say anyone who read the Da Vinci Code probably "Knows the historical significance of Friday the 13th".

Coincidentally I lost a $50 bill. What colour was it, it might be mine.

When you mug someone you can't really call it "found".

I'm Chinese, so Friday the 13th doesn't affect us, since 13 is a lucky number to us.
