    So, it's Friday 13th today, OMG! SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPENNNN!!!!

    Personally, I don't think it's anything to fear, I mean hell some people have a phobia of it (friggatriskaidekaphobia). I think superstitions are stupid, like walk under a ladder and it's bad luck? I've walked under plenty of ladders and nothing bad has happened.

    Just because one person who regarded Friday 13th as an unlucky day died on Friday 13th November in 1869, now everybody is scared of it?

    Anyhow, I'm not trying to insult anyone who may have a fear of the day or anything, but can anyone give me an example of something disastrous happening on Friday 13th? Because I can't remember anything that's happened on that particular day that's any worse than any other day, I mean why aren't people afraid of September 11th? (Sorry it had to be used a an example, horrible disaster, no offence intended) Surely that would make more sense to be afraid of that day?

    Well, that's that, feel free to comment below and flame me for my comments or do what this topic is intended for and give me opinions and examples of why Friday 13th is bad.

    Peace! x

maybe that's why all the stoplights went red and made me late to band practice.
lol doesn't matter I'm always late to them
I think their was a airplane accident on friday the 13th a couple of years ago but I'm not sure. I really don't believe in that stuff but its always fun to mess when stuff like this.

I was somewhat afraid of this Friday the 13th, cause I flew back from my vacation. =/

Aha, I never actually knew why Friday 13th was considered unlucky, now I do. I had to clean the bathroom today. I guess you could count that as unlucky.

i dont fear this day either but i did get in a.... idk.... fender bender a few years ago on friday the 13th. haha oh welll. coincidence
it makes me mad when people say this is thier favorite day or 13 is thier favorite number, cuz really your just saying that to seem rebelious.

nothing bad has ever happened to me or my mates on friday the 13 and i don't believe in all that superstitious crap anyway:(

I've had a pretty normal day so far. I don't believe in superstitions anyway, and that's probably the key - if you don't believe it, you don't think about it, and if you don't think about it, you won't attract anything bad.

My brother-in-law died on Friday the 13th. He was 40 years old.
He died while driving home from work. He wasn't feeling well. Died instantly, had an aneurysm that burst between his heart and lungs. He drown in his own blood. Very sad.

I'm not entirely sure what I meant by storm of hoovers. just came off the top of my head :P
and nothing bad happened today... other than I ran out of shampoo. ;)

Ah that might explain a few things but what's 666 then? I always thought of that as the number of the devil? (Probably from The Omen, hardly a reliable source xD) Maybe I guess a few people, possibly Christians more than anything would be scared by those facts, but still, I'm hardly religious, my Religious Eductaion teacher at school clothes-lined me...

Apparantly it comes from a Friday being the day people were hanged and '13' being the number of the Devil. Witches covens were made of 12 Witches with the 13th member being the Devil. Pretty scary stuff but great subject!!!
:-)

Well, the weather here is so bad, if my house flooded I wouldn't be blaming it on Friday 13th lets put it that way, it's been raining for near enough the last 2 weeks every day without fail, yesterday may aswell have been a tsunami :| And that made me laugh, a hoover in a storm of hoovers haha. What exactly is a storm of hoovers? Do they just gather together floating in the sky and create something stronger than a hurricane? And just rip houses off the ground? Anyhoo that's how I'd imagine a storm of hoovers xD And what is wrong with you today?

paramonday at six's picture

haaa :D adding impact is so awesome.
We shall see at the end of this... wet day what happens that's bad/evil. knowing me and my luck, it will suck. like a hoover. in a storm of hoovers. what on EARTH is wrong with me today?

MarshDawg's picture

Don't worry, I touched the biggest damn tree I could find after I did it (let's hope it wasn't artificial) And it always could, I guess I won't know until it happens!

Dun dun duuuuuuuuuun (in an even lower voice for even greater impact).

paramonday at six's picture

heyheyhey, touch wood on that. Now you've said nothing bad's happened, it could do today -.-
dundundun.

for full impact, you have to say that in a really low voice. ;D

MarshDawg's picture

Haha ah well I'm sorry about that, but I'm pretty sure I tied Jason to a boulder and threw him in a lake when he tried to kill me, so he shouldn't be back anytime soon. And I guess it's never really struck me as a 'bad' or unlucky day, Idk, because I've never experienced anything bad on that day, but wth, I guess it's something I'll never understand xD

paramonday at six's picture

and now that you've said Jason's gonna come get me, I'm scared even more ¬_¬ :P

paramonday at six's picture

I'm not entirely sure... but I read this book once and it made me paranoid for life :P
well, not life, but you get the idea.
I don't know where the whole hoo-haa-friday-13th-AHHHH!!!!!! nonsense comes from, it's just some weird conspiracy :\

MarshDawg's picture

Is that because you think Jason's gonna come get you? Haha nah in all seriousness what about the day is it that people seem to find scary? I'm trying to understand it because to me it really doesn't make any sense?

paramonday at six's picture

Well, I'm not scared of walking under ladders or anything like that shizzle, no offence to those who are, but I'm just seriously paranoid, and Friday 13th scares the shit out of me :P
