Time to break a mirror, walk under a ladder, let the cat go first, wish an actor luck, and mention Macbeth out loud :D

Whenever the first day of a month is a Sunday, there's going to be a Friday the 13th that month

Whenever the first day of a month is a Sunday, there's going to be a Friday the 13th that monthWhat's even weirder is that whenever the THIRD day of the month is on a TUESDAY, there's going to be a Friday the 13th that month.

AND

Whenever the last day of a month is a SATURDAY, there's going to be a Friday the 13th the following month.

And if ANY Thursday is the 12th you can bet good money Friday the 13th is coming up.

And if ANY Thursday is the 12th you can bet good money Friday the 13th is coming up.Except in July of 1976. No one ever did figure that one out.

The really spooky part is how they fixed all the calendars so that if you go back and check that date now everything looks normal.

If the first of the month lands on a Sunday, the month has a Friday the 13th. :)
