Happy Friday the Thirteenth!

There is no written evidence that the Friday the 13th superstition existed prior to the 19th century, and even the earliest supposed evidence is very little. In fact, there is very little mention of this superstition prior to the 20th century. It is also interesting to note that in Spanish-speaking countries it is Tuesday the 13th which is considered unlucky and that in Italian culture it is Friday the 17th which is an unlucky day.

Oh well, happy Friday the 13th all the same. Be safe. And have an enjoyable weekend (afterall, it is still FRIDAY!)
