In 1960, scientists predicted the world would end on Nov 13 2026. Well, maybe just for Microsoft users.
In Christian tradition, crucifixion happened Friday. Thus, Fridays were avoided by sailors and folklore ever since. Also, Buddha was put on a vegan diet by his doctors on Fridays, putting him in a very foul mood!
13 has been seen as unlucky for centuries. But is it though? Wilt Chamberlain wore 13 and Bill Russell wore 6. And 6 is thought of as a good, harmonious number. Bill had 11 rings and 1 woman. Wilt had 2 rings but over 2000 women. So who’s the lucky one?
Judas was 13th to the Last Supper. In the discarded Scriptures, he was quoted as saying, “Wait, that wasn’t my fault! Traffic was horrible in downtown Jerusalem, especially during Passover.

Records show no consistent spike in accidents or bad luck. In stark contrast, actually Friday 13th is the day most surprise onion rings are found in a bag of fries, thus DELIGHTING Americans more than most days!
It’s not unlucky in Spain, Greece, or Italy. They say Friday the whatever is better than any Monday! And Kim Jun Un said, “every day in North Korea is a lucky day, and a good day to get rid of unwanted clothes, dishes or uncles who threaten my power.”
Friday the 13th can happen up to three times a year. Just like sex with my wife.
