Friday, July 13

13th...

A Friday occurring on the 13th day of any month is considered to be a day of bad luck in English, German, Polish and Portuguese-speaking cultures around the globe. Similar superstitions exist in some other traditions. In Greece or Spain, for example, Tuesday the 13th takes the same role. The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia.

The next Friday the 13th will occur June 2008.

Due to the large number of negative events that happen in the world, a similar list could be compiled for any combination of day of the month and day of the week. Friday the 13th is also sometimes known as "Dooms day."

~January 13, 2006, and October 13, 2006, were not only Fridays, but the digits in the month, day, and year of each date add up to 13. This last occurred on October 13, 1520, and will next occur on May 13, 2011.

~Lake Storm "Aphid", an out-of-season snowstorm that wrought havoc on the Buffalo, NY area took place on Friday, October 13, 2006.
