Alright ! Whom among us here are superstitious ? Today is Friday the 13th and being that today is connected with bad luck I was wondering if any one of you gentlemen or perhaps a brother knows why today is considered bad luck?

This explains things rather well:Friday the 13th - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Well, I can tell you why it's good luck. My wife and I consider today a good day. We were married on the 13th (albeit not on a Friday).
I know what the Wiki says. I should of specified NO cheating ! Lol
In that case, having gone through Catholic school from K-12, I was always told that it had to do with Judas being the 13th Apostle and that he sold Jesus out on a Friday.Quote:

Monday the 16th s looking like a much more treacherous day for me. Snow and ice last night and I have to drive out and back to Rainier Oregon (about 200 miles RT) to get my son this morning. I really should consider investing in some studded tires. It shows so rarely out here at the beach I never think I need 'em. But I always wish had 'em for these days.
Edit: Gotta love the internets. I got my route picked out now. Both WA and OR have road conditions and traffic cameras so I can see where the show's been cleared. Hell, The WA DOT even has a map that shows road surface temperatures. What did people do before the internet? I guess they just put studded tires on their car and lived with it.
Lol STAYED Home and made more sons!!
I think they now have studded tires on demand, so long as your vehicle has the equipment to handle it.
You're so right about the internet. I usually check traffic before driving home from work. Good luck with your drive.
I too was having problems with Monday the 16th. I woke up plenty early shaved and did the morning routine to a tea. But when it came time to dress and go to work, I just wasn't feeling it. I'm not sick, just not ready to go back yet, so I called them up and told them I got a hold of some bad shrimp and that I'd see them tomorrow. No big plans for my Ferris Bueller day I just really didn't feel like going to work.
Off today for MLK Day. I love the concept of a Monday off! Now if we could just think of someone to honor EVERY Monday...
I always used to say I had eye trouble.Quote:

I have a case of the brown bottle flu today.
I'm retired, kind of takes the zip out of calling in sick!!
By the way, reference Friday the 13th. There are 3 in 2012, and they fall exactly 13 weeks apart!!
