Every couple hundred years, Friday the 13th occurs in February. The interesting thing, is that due to the 28 day month, it also occurs the next month, in March. Beware... | ||

The people who gave Friday the 13th THE BAD REP WAS THE KNIGHT'S TEMPLARS when the king of France rounded them up falsely charged them tortured them, burned them at the stake and stole all their wealth.

I guess, if you can't repay your loan, killing everybody who loaned it to you is the next best thing. February 13th, 1328, iirc...? Rich | |||

Friday, October 13th, 1307. In 2015 there is a third one, in November. Does this make for a particularly unlucky year? I don't know. ... but I'm going to try to be real careful just the same.  A good job is sometimes just a series of expertly fixed fark-ups. Let's see.... is it 20 years experience or is it 1 years experience 20 times? And I will have you know that I am not an old fart. I am a curmudgeon. A curmudgeon is an old fart with an extensive vocabulary and a really bad attitude. | |||

13 was the birthing day of my Mom. 5 children, 3 born on the 13th, one late on the 12th, and one on the 26th. I was 13 on Friday the 13th. Sep 1968. My next brother was a December born on the 13th baby. Every Friday the 13th in Sep is followed by a Friday the 13th in Dec. I am exceptionally unlucky at Lotto drawings, finding 200 inch whitetails and 22 inch black bears. If I had only been born on the 14th.... | |||

Actually, it happens twice, AM, & PM. Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.
