But what made me want to write about this Friday is the fact that we've had two Friday the 13th's in a row. That just isn't that frequent. Maybe two in a year, but never in a row. So, it deserves some recognition.
If you search for Friday the 13th myths and information there are plenty of sites out there with research galore. Trust me, I just looked. Myths ranging from the Bible, to the Norse culture, and to the Knights of Templar's execution. And everything in between. But my favorite by far is this:
"Finally, Emery suggests the number 13 may have an unlucky connotation because of its association with the lunar calendar (there are 13 lunar cycles in a year) and with femininity (women have 13 menstrual cycles in a year)."
Fitting right? I had a good laugh over that one. It figures someone would put the 'bad luck' of Friday the 13th up against a woman's 'time of month'. Makes sense to me, but what does that entail for us this year...with two in a row...Aw shucks we're screwed!
So, Happy Friday the 13th and stay away from the crazies!
For your enjoyment, here's a video that gets Eric and I laughing like hyenas. Hope it starts your weekend off right!

ReplyDeleteAnd on a note relating to your post...
So, the house that we invested in a couple years back, ended up being the house my sis and her hub moved into. Well, we were all kinda freaked out bc we have heard stories of a dead chinese lady that lives in the attick and wants revenge on any owners of the house. I can't remember if we started that story or not, lol, but that's beside the point. There are the LOUDEST, WEIRDEST, ODDEST, STRANGEST, UNUSUAL-EST (trying to get my point across here) noises, footsteps--(no joke ok), cracks and creeks that happen in that house it's so weird. We also discovered that the house is the 13th house down the street, it has a 13 step staircase, and... AND... if you add up the four numbers of the House number in the address, they come to 13!!!
So, add THAT story to GOOGLE!!!
