Well happy freakin' birthday Tleon!

I, too, was born on Friday the 13th, but I always took that as an argument in favor of it being a bad luck day, rather than against....

The head nurse spoke up, said "Leave this one alone!"

It's Friday the 13th. The number 13 has been considered unlucky since the concept of numerology was developed by Alfred Nobel in 1967 to prove that Nikolai Tesla was a transvestite. Friday was declared unlucky by Chaucer in Canterbury Tales after a bad breakup with Rebecca Black. The combination of the two has always been considered unlucky, if your reckoning of "always" only extends back to 1907.

I propose that, in this thread, we bite our thumbs at Nobel, Chaucer, and Rebecca Black, and post the good things about our days.

Today, I went to plug a USB drive into my computer and got it correct on the second, rather than the third try.

Bad luck day indeed!

If Chaucer was claiming the day to be unlucky, where the hell do you get 1907 as an origin year? The guy lived in the 14th century.

not really mind blowing. There were thirteen colonies. The re-occurrence of 13 is a symbol for them.

Well, I took the PE exam today. If I pass, it's a good luck day. If i didn't we'll go ahead and call it a bad luck day.

My wife is heading out with friends for dinner tonight, so my son and I get an exceptionally rare man night at the house. We'll finally get to check out the Army of Darkness blu-ray I picked up a while back.

Awesome day.
