friday the 13th is just a myth,old tradition or superstition.
People who usually afraid of Friday the 13th are called PARASKEVIDEKATRIPHOBIC. But its all in the mind.

This is a superstition. It came about because the King of France arrested all the Knights Templars on Friday the 13th. So, since I'm not a Templar I'm not the least bit worried!! Another thing by the way. I'm going to be 60 on the 6 in the year 06 but I'm not worried about that either because that was a number game played by the Romans. 666 was the number of the Emperor Caligula (the devil at the time). He was hated by the people because of his madness and murdered by the Senate.

Actually no. I do get paranoid about stuff like that. I am highly superstitious. It used to be that I'd avoid leaving the house on fri 13th but I decided that was going a bit too far and it wouldn't have stopped a plane crashing on me or something like that. I've had so much going on lately that I didn't even realise the significance of the day/date until I got to work and put the date on the daily sales sheet.
But so far, touch wood, I seem to be having an ok day.

No, but on 6/6/6 this year, someone pranged my car and 3 other people at work had minor accidents during the day. Friday 13th is not a bad day!

Friday 13th is a superstition. Today is only bad if you make it bad. Everyone has bad days even on days besides Friday 13th.

Yes because I am sick and I have to go to work.
In case you were wondering the oirigins of the Friday the 13th thing started because that was the day of the big Knights Templar raid where some were killed and many were arrested to later be tortured and then burned alive.

NO! I AM NOT HAVING A BAD DAY!
* The cat died
* Bill collectors are pounding at the doors like ravenous wolves
* My ex-wife wants my blood
* Lawyers want my soul
* The IRS is parked in the driveway sharpening their knives and prepping their trepanning devices...
In light of the fact I haven't given up and put a gun to my head, yet keep trudging on despite it all, makes this a very good day.
