Happy Friday 13th, everybody! 😀

I have a question; does anyone know where the superstition of "Friday the 13th" came from? I can't figure it out.

Cheers,
 
Well I'm not superstitious, but I know Friday is an unlucky day and 13 is an unlucky number. So Friday the 13th = Bad Juju. I know that it was believed bad stuff always seemed to happen on Friday, thus names like Black Friday and even on old detective novels, names like Joe Friday. Even though he was a good guy, he was a magnet for trouble. I don't know why 13 is a bad number. I think I'll check out those wiki links
 
The Knights Templar were rounded up, tortured and put to death on a Friday the 13th (by Papal decree!). Ever since then, people have looked upon the day as bad luck.

That, or Jason is responsible. I always get the two stories mixed up. :neenerneener:
 
I just wonder how the new movie Friday The 13th is. It's actually a remake but I'd love to see it. :YesMaster:
 
the new movie is actually pretty fucking great! It surprised the hell out of me. It's definitely worth a see.
 
I dont believe in friday the 13th myths BUT my mum had the worst day imaginable!!

She got up and couldnt have tea as the kettle had broken.

Then went to get in her car and it wouldnt start, so borrowed my step dads car.

Which broke down 20 miles from home.

Called up rescue, and waited over an hour.

Couldnt call back as her phone had died, (couldnt charge it as her charger had stopped working) So they couldnt get hold of her either.

After 20 mins of trying, someone stopped and let her use theyre phone.

Finally got picked up and towed home.

Sat down to watch TV and the sound had completely vanished, just pictures.

She rang me to tell me all this.

I arrive home with a new kettle, got it plugged in and boiling water, rebooted the sky box to sort the sound out, sorted her car out(needed a new battery) and managed to drive my step dads car to the garage to get fixed (needs a new clutch)

For me, friday13th is about balance 😉
 
Another fun fact:

It's going to happen 3 times total this year, which only happens about every 11 years or so.
 
What I always thought was that it came from the fact that there were 13 people at the Last Supper, the 12 apostles and Jesus, and the fact that Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
 
If anyone missed Friday the 13th, no need to worry. The next one is next month! :woot:
 
It was my birthday... nothing bad happened. So I'll call it an ok day. I've never been superstitious about it...I consider 13 my lucky number 😛
