*Shrug* Whatever wander into my path. I'm particularly interested I guess in promiscuous ones, who don't hold their virginity for the right person. I'm also after the sporty jock types. Anyone got directions to Crystal Lake?

Just another day. Bad things have happened on Friday the 13th, but worse things have happened on other days!

had to sort out a few computers for a guy today in the middle of rural limerick. He had two computers blow up (including a server that all the accounts data is on), the hub bit the dust, a modem went south and two printers shuffled off their mortal coil; all within the space of ten minutes. Guess he must be a believer in the ol' Fri 13 thing.

Friday the 13th and The Knights Templar

One theory holds that it came about not as the result of a convergence, but a catastrophe, a single historical event that happened nearly 700 years ago. The catastrophe was the decimation of the Knights Templar, the legendary order of "warrior monks" formed during the Christian Crusades to combat Islam.
Renowned as a fighting force for 200 years, by the 1300s the order had grown so pervasive and powerful it was perceived as a political threat by kings and popes alike and brought down by a church-state conspiracy, as recounted by Katharine Kurtz in "Tales of the Knights Templar" (Warner Books: 1995):
"On October 13, 1307, a day so infamous that Friday the 13th would become a synonym for ill fortune, officers of King Philip IV of France carried out mass arrests in a well-coordinated dawn raid that left several thousand Templars — knights, sergeants, priests, and serving brethren — in chains, charged with heresy, blasphemy, various obscenities, and homosexual practices. None of these charges was ever proven, even in France — and the Order was found innocent elsewhere — but in the seven years following the arrests, hundreds of Templars suffered excruciating tortures intended to force 'confessions,' and more than a hundred died under torture or were executed by burning at the stake."

so Friday the 13th came about cos the Pope tried to take all the knights out in one swoop - hence it became an unlucky day....

you are absolutley correct..and I assume you have read the DaVinci code as well

I love fridays, strange today though that I had a 'heart-attack' like episode when i woke up and will be seeing the doctor today...but I know it hasnt anything to do with today being the 13th

in japan 13 is considered a lucky number. i think the whole ''friday the 13th'' mularkey is just a western thing...and i think even by just giving in to the superstition, that bad things probably will happen, because everyone expects them to.it's like... we expect the reality to be altered and therefore it is.what the phuck did i just say? i can't explain it properly.

Is this day unlucky for you or just another friday?

Never believed it unlucky but i think i've changed my mind. Over 4 years driving and never a scratch - Friday i drove up on rocks (don't ask) and damaged all the front of my car.

I dunno if someone has extended Friday the 13th but this morning i reversed into a friggen wall. Ten minutes before that i skidded on a wet road but hit nothing.

Christ!

Although i think this morning was due to an almight all night session with no sleep and straight to work for 8

Hope there's no more Friday the 13th's for a while

Funnily enough, Friday 13th went ok, work was bit of a headwreck, but all in all nothing bad/unusual happened at all YAY!!!

Well that is just it, there were lots of other Friday the 13ths in the past 4 years, but you were fine on them. I am sure lots of people had bad luck on Friday, but lots had bad luck on Thursday and Saturday too. Think of some of the worst things that have happened in recent years and you'll find they were on days other than Friday the 13th. It is just another day, no better or worse than any other!

Let's see. Got called to a "meeting" at the place I work (really just an oppourtunity for an angry fat man to shout at me down the phone for doing stuff A which contradicts stuff B, when it should have been the other way round) to hear just how close I am to being (rather unjustly, but nothing to be done) fired. This takes up most of the day, so I have about enough time to walk home, grab a coffee, and head back in to work. I come home to find that my girlfriend is breaking up with me.

Yup, just another day.

Friday the 13th!!!
