Friday the 13th

[Sandy]

Where did it start? How has it evolved? Is it good or bad luck?

My friend was in a show, and during one of her songs, she started coughing up blood.

Ooooo.

My friend pointed out the humor in the fact that 7/7/07 and Friday the thirteenth happened in the same week this year.

The origins of Friday superstitions are many. One of the best known is that Eve tempted Adam with the apple on a Friday. Tradition also has it that the Flood in the Bible, the confusion at the Tower of Babel.

The origins of the Friday the 13th superstition have also been linked to the fact there were 13 people at the last supper of Jesus, who was traditionally crucified on Good Friday, but it probably originated only in medieval times.

It has also been linked to the fact that a lunisolar calendar must have 13 months in some years, while the solar Gregorian calendar and lunar Islamic calendar always have 12 months in a year.

I was playing Texas Hold'em during a previous Friday the 13th with a couple of friends and the flop was : 6, 6, 6. Pretty crazy huh?

To be honest out of all the days in the year I only like Friday the 13. No I'm not superstitous but it's the day I get to bug the **** out of my mom cause she is superstitous!!

Meh. I'm not superstitious, but the Bombers did lose to the Eskis on Friday =(


Oddly enough we rarely lose on Friday the 13ths, and have never lost to the Eskis on a Ft13.
