Yes, today is Friday the 13th! It is just like any other day for me. I have never heard of anyone having bad luck on this day. It is just a silly superstition in my opinion. 
I just found this on Wikepedia. The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia! That is one big word!

hehe.. Same here, Bill thanks and thanks for the info... I wonder though why do they have to give phobias with such very long names.

Just to confuse us I think by sounding all technical and medical!

LOL.. Well, I had a great Friday the 13th too. Much better than today, Monday the 16th... I woke up with my migraine pounding my head. The rest of the day was fine though. :)
Have a great week!

Hi archon, No, Friday the thirteenth isn't a bad luck day, that is just a superstition. Of course people who believe in it strongly enough will find something to call bad luck. Some people will have bad things happen to them on Friday the thirteenth, others will have it happen to them on Thursday the twelfth and still others on Saturday the fourteenth. Bad things happen to someone everyday. Blessings.

My first child was born on Friday the 13th so I've always considered it wonderful!

I do not know how this belief got started, but I do not believe in Friday the 13. If anything bad is going to happen to a person it will happen regardless of Friday 13. It is all in your minds.
Do you believe it is also bad luck to walk under a ladder? If so, why. You think you have to walk under a ladder to have bad luck when most of the time you experience it anyway.
Thank You

I have no idea how it got started
did you know that 13 is actually very lucky number
there were 13 people seated at the table for Jesus' last supper
there are 13 cards in each suit in a deck of cards
there are 13 players on a Rugby team
there are many more but you get the jest

I don't know how this belief started, but for me it is a regular day, I don't care what the calender says. In my opinion this things show nothing more than the human stupidity, I cannot say anything else.
