Friday the 13th





 A superstition is the belief that events may be influenced by magic or mystical ways.

Friday the 13th is one of those superstitions.

 
I am not a very superstitious person; however, I do tend to not walk under ladders, throw salt over my shoulder, and touch the roof when going through an orange robot.

 
Here is some info about today (not particularly today but in history):
 

-         Apparently it is bad luck to start anything on a Friday

-         A phobia about Friday 13th is called: paraskavedekatriaphobia

-         Many hospitals don’t have a room numbered 13

-         King Henry II was born on this day, so was Orlando Bloom

-         This day is linked to the Christian Bible – believed that Jesus died on Friday 13th

 
Now you have some facts that you can tell people.

  2. I never knew that. I think it is fascinating to hear what people are superstitious about and the lengths they will go to avoid doing certain things.
