Myths
---------

"Friday the 13th" is a date considered to be bad luck in western superstition. Several theories have been proposed about the origin of the "Friday the 13th" superstition.

One theory states that it is a modern amalgamation of two older superstitions: that thirteen is an unlucky number and that Friday is an unlucky day.

In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve hours of the clock, twelve gods of Olympus, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, the 12 successors of Muhammad in Shia Islam, 12 makes a dozen, etc., whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness. There is also a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last Supper or a Norse myth, that having thirteen people seated at a table will result in the death of one of the diners.

Many professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects. Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s. Some people refuse to go to work on Friday the 13th; some won't eat in restaurants; many wouldn't think of setting a wedding on the date. Lot of people remain in the grips of this very old superstition.

Eh, I killed them all saying that no matter what.. You can name it the 12th floor to the 22nd floor. It will always be the 13th floor, even without a title.

Ahem.

I was born on September 13th, on a Friday.

I don't believe in all this superstitious garbage, a Friday which happens to be the 13th of any given month is just another day.

People need to calm down.

Thanks. Smile
