"The belief that Friday 13th is an unlucky day is one of the most widely know superstitions in Britain today.
The superstition surrounding Friday the 13th is actually a combination of two separate fears — the fear of the number 13, called triskaidekaphobia, and the fear of Fridays.
Unlucky 13
It is unlucky to have thirteen at a table or in a company. The number 13, in the Christian faith, is the number of people at the Last Supper, with the 13th guest at the table being the traitor, Judas.
(The unlucky number 13 is often left out when numbering houses, flats and hotel rooms. )
Fridays
Fridays have been considered an unlucky day since the medieval times.
In Britain, Friday was the conventional day for public hangings, and there were supposedly 13 steps leading up to the noose!
Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit on a Friday and later died on a Friday.
Christians consider Friday as the day on which Christ was crucified by the Romans."

I was driving back from the industrial area from work and I counted 4 cars that got into a wreck earlier.
I hope everyone survived, because it was not a pretty site to watch those cars to be abandon in the curb.
And let's dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.

i never believed in superstitions since i accident broke a mirror and had 7 years of "good luck instead of bad luck...lol..
Watch the Happening, whao! Many horror movies were released on this date
I said that!
in the Middle East?
I reckon that would be like seeing Mr Paul's builder's bum twice on a dark night. hee
We're in the Middle East.
They use the Lunar calendar.
So, it's possible that there could be "TWO" Friday the 13ths..
Which one is the real one ?
well, I have to admit to NOT booking a hire car today - I left it until tomorrow, so I guess I got spooked LMAO
However, I should add that IF I'd had no choice in the matter I would have booked it today irrespective of the day and date. But I did, so I didn't :D
just haven't read it. Could be anything, really - I think the figure 13 is the main problem, though ... triskaidekaphobia"
No time to research at the moment - interesting though ..
