    You don't need Friday the 13th to be superstitious. In some cultures, there are some really weird ones.
    For instance, if you are walking on a road and a cat crosses it, you have to take a different route, or it is considered bad luck. Also, if someone sneezes, people need to do a flicking action over their left shoulder or again it's bad luck.

    Bizarre but it is true for some different cultures.

    Is it even mathematically possible to have Friday the 13th in the same month two years in a row?

    Did he say the second one came on Friday the 13th? Or only a year to the day later?

    I wouldn't think so.
     
  5. Thought it was like every seven years. I think we average like 1.47 Friday the 13ths a year.
    (Had to do some research on this recently)

    Good call, Moddy. I read into it because he was talking about how Friday the 13th was his day. So maybe he didn't mean that. My bad.

    The only way I could possibly have bad luck today is if I can't get Keith's beer at the bar. If I am successful, than Friday the 13th is lucky for me ;) ;D

    That was a good call Moddy, and I stand by my original post. The second one was a year to the day later. Not a Friday the 13th, but the anniversary nonetheless. Methinks it was a Thursday.

    At any rate, all the other dates in the story were actually Friday the 13ths! 8)

    MY DAY.

    Good move, the women around her love the primal acts.

    1) Happy Birthday to UT.

    2) I proudly possess a Dan Marino jersey. Not only does it have that dreaded number, it's aqua ... kind of a departure from my normal color palettes.
