      Same in the Uk, too. I'd guess it's probably a Europe wide thing (and countries settled by Europeans too, of course) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

              Friday 13th is considered unlucky combination here. I'm not superstitious, but everything I do today, I have an issue with. Maybe I should better switch to weekend mode prematurely and go home :). Is the friday 13th supperstition our local speciality or you knoe it too elsewhere? Pavel Sonork 100.15206

              I would have thought that Monday the 13th was unlucky because you still have the rest of the week at work.... ;P Elaine (clock watching fluffy tigress) Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

                  "Useless Friday the 13th fact #13": The Gregorian calendar cycles every 400 years - if you take any 400 year period, the dates will occur on the same day of the week. In a 400 year period, the 13th day of any month is (slightly) more likely to be a Friday than any other day of the week. :~ The numbers come out at:

                  • Monday: 685 14.2708%
                  • Tuesday: 685 14.2708%
                  • Wednesday: 687 14.3125%
                  • Thursday: 684 14.25%
                  • Friday: 688 14.3333%
                  • Saturday: 684 14.25%
                  • Sunday: 687 14.3125%

                  Spooky! ;P

                            I have had, as yet, no bad luck today. There is a large MFC book balancing precariously on the shelf above my head. I will assume that it will not choose to fall on me and knock me uncacsoi^&

                              Is it something to do with digging out tooth roots buried inside the gum? I've had that done. It took the combined strength of two dentists to get it out. Ouch.
