TimeOut

The fear of Friday the 13th is known as paraskavedekatriaphobia. LOL. So Friday the 13th is approaching...Scary!

This year it occurs 3 times (February, March, and November). The number 13 has been associated with good as well as bad luck. Buildings and elevators have the 13th floor omitted while some will not travel or just stay at home.

Anyone here afraid or have a superstition of Friday the 13th?

but I must say that Friday 13th has always been my lucky day
only good things happened

bdw this superstition is link with
the day when Pope Clement V and King Philip - le Bel ordered mass arrest
leading to death of Knight Templars

October 13, 1307 - Friday the 13th.

Yes I read too much Dan Brown

It's my birthday this friday the 13.

No fear about it. I already had a few friday the 13 birthdays and it went well. So much for superstition.

I have always liked the number 13 and I really like Friday the 13th.  

You should have came out to Vegas with us and we could've celebrated your bday!

it's party and feast time today in sunny Singapore.And mom asked me if I wanted a watch with a budget of $200,being a purist, I simply said a cute swatch will make me happy.Just wish the great recession will end soon.

June baby.

Hello mrsnak!

Looks more and more like the 13th is a really lucky number! We'll have to celebrate your bday here in L.A. as June 13 rolls around!

Hello LiberA

lucky #13!

And she says good things always happen for her and the family!

Like for me, i'm getting my 292 tomorrow, which btw 2+9+2=13!

So tomorrow is a VERY GOOD DAY FOR ME!

Cheers

Hello BluNotte!

Happy bday to your mom! Good to hear about Lucky 13 for you.

Now I have to find the word that is opposite of the fear of Friday the 13th! LOL.

Unfortunately it isnt her bday tomorrow, it's in June, but what i'm trying to say is that 13, even if it falls on a friday is very good for me and the family!

Although my personal favourite is 7, but hardly something exciting happens actually on the 7th if ever. But the 292 which i'm getting will be J 567/1000 ! The order of the number, and the fact that at least there is a digit 7 on the watch, makes me very much pleased to purchase it!

Cheers

Stephen

everything better.

 

Thanks for all the B-day wishes. 

 

Happy birthday to all who are celebrating.

I was on a flight on 06-June-2006 and nothing happened.  However, I still try to avoid the number 4 whenever I can (the Chinese bad luck number).
