Happy Friday the 13th! (oooh spooky!)
 
Time to break a mirror, walk under a ladder, let the cat go first, wish an actor luck, and mention Macbeth out loud :D

I love Friday the 13th- my clients never want anything new on that day. :D

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

What'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.

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.

Superstitionophobia

Cadaverous Pallor 08-13-2010 11:45 AM

I'm scared of people who believe in superstitions. Including my mother-in-law.

So, are superstious people bad luck?? :D

Today is my boss's birthday, and he was born on Friday the 13th. He considers it a lucky day!

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

SzczerbiakManiac 08-13-2010 01:41 PM

Unless the year is evenly divisible by pi.

CoasterMatt 08-13-2010 01:55 PM

My uncle passed away this morning. We're gonna watch horror movies tonight in his honor.

Sorry to hear that about your uncle. My condolences.
:(
Which ones are you going to watch?

RStar 08-13-2010 02:51 PM

Sorry, Matt.

Sounds like a great way to honor him...

Betty 08-13-2010 06:21 PM

Bunch of people layed off at work today which REALLY SUCKS on a number of levels and then I tore my pants on a nail sticking out of a bench.

I'm home now. I'm drinking. and I guess that's it. at least it's friday.

Morrigoon 08-13-2010 10:15 PM

I typically have great Friday the 13ths. Today went well enough. My husband even wanted to go out for dinner.

MouseWife 08-14-2010 09:08 AM

That is very lucky, Morri!

CoasterMatt~sorry to hear about your Uncle but I agree, a cool way to honor him.

So, I hear if the first of the month is on a Sunday, the month will have a Friday the 13th?

I don't know, believe it or not. I just heard it....somewhere...

Kevy Baby 08-14-2010 10:14 AM

If the first of the month falls on a threesday, there will be TWO Friday the 13ths

What about that one time there was 3 Fridays the 13ths in one month? How do you explain that one? Hmmmm? That's what I thought... not so smart are you now! :p

Kevy Baby 08-14-2010 02:39 PM

SzczerbiakManiac 08-14-2010 03:38 PM

Kevy Baby 08-14-2010 07:54 PM

DreadPirateRoberts 08-14-2010 09:02 PM
