Friday the 13th
Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day in Western superstition. But in Spanish-speaking countries, instead of Friday, Tuesday the 13th (martes trece) is considered a day of bad luck. In Italian popular culture, Friday the 17th (and not the 13th) is considered a day of bad luck. In fact, in Italy, 13 is generally considered a lucky number. However, due to Anglo-Saxon influence, young people consider Friday the 13th unlucky as well.
The fear of Friday the 13th has been called [b]friggatriskaidekaphobia[/b] (Frigga being the name of the Norse goddess for whom "Friday" is named in English and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen), or paraskevidekatriaphobia[10][11] a concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή, meaning "Friday"), and dekatreís (δεκατρείς, meaning "thirteen") attached to phobía (φοβία, from phóbos, φόβος, meaning "fear").
So Flood,
Do you believe this day is unlucky? Do you have any superstitions you claim as real?

I guess that I was unlucky today. My glasses recently started to fall apart, so today I went to the place where my local optic store was located. Yeah, was, because I figured out that they recently moved.

I forgot it was Friday the 13th, just I like I forgot about 9/11 earlier this week. Man, when I was a kid I use to be on top of this shit, now I don't even know when all the holidays are.

I've been doing everything in threes to counteract the good luck (might have thrown in a few extra once or twice, for a bit of good luck ;)), and nothing bad has happened yet. [spoiler]No, not really :)[/spoiler]

1 ReplyWhere did the superstition actually come from anyway? Some guy probably had a really shitty day and decided to blame something supernatural.

nope Nor do I observe the zodiac, black cats passing in front of me (Oh look, a kitty), walking under ladders, broken mirrors, upside down horse shoes, crossing my fingers, throwing salt over my shoulder, saying Biggy Smalls in the mirror 3 times,.... But, I do believe it is imperative to trap Canadians in cardboard containers on Boxing Day.

Well I have the flu today so I guess that's bad luck.

I had a test today... :/

Ill let you know at the end of the day, I've only had a few of these and I can't remember if they were bad days or not.

Just another day. I hope it's not an unlucky one. 16 hours on the road is unlucky enough.

It's just another day in the neighborhood that usually features a marathon of Camp Crystal Lake employees getting what they deserve.
