Many people in the western culture fear of Friday the 13th. Are you superstitious about Friday the 13th?

No ..not superstitious....

As my birthday is on the 13th, and sometimes falls on a Friday (next in 2009), I am inclined to believe this is actually very lucky !

Northwest Airlines offered a friend a $200 discounted ticket to fly from the US on Friday the 13th... She arrives late tomorrow, but left the US on Friday the 13th.... I hope that I can arrange most of my flights for Friday the 13th's....

Bad Friday

"It is said: Never change your bed on Friday; it will bring bad dreams. Don't start a trip on Friday or you will have misfortune. If you cut your nails on Friday, you cut them for sorrow. Ships that set sail on a Friday will have bad luck – as in the tale of H.M.S. Friday ... One hundred years ago, the British government sought to quell once and for all the widespread superstition among seamen that setting sail on Fridays was unlucky. A special ship was commissioned, named "H.M.S. Friday." They laid her keel on a Friday, launched her on a Friday, selected her crew on a Friday and hired a man named Jim Friday to be her captain. To top it off, H.M.S. Friday embarked on her maiden voyage on a Friday, and was never seen or heard from again."

I voted no, but an interesting side note....

A Thai friend mentioned to me today that they don't worry about the Friday so much, but that they consider the number 13 unlucky/scary because when rotated clockwise 90 degrees it makes ผี (pii...the Thai word for ghost). I had never heard this before...do many Thais consider 13 a bad (for lack of a better term) number?

Naw....... Friday the 13th is just a Myth!

Watch out for black cats, ladders, spilling salt etc.

Many happy returns of the day, tuky. 21 again, is it?

Happy Birthday Tuky.

I voted no, hope I haven't fated my-self....

I will still be buying a ticket for the £70 million draw this evening.

I'll get the beers in if the Gods, Buddha and Allah all see in my favour....

Friday 13th stupid superstion total garbage I do not believe it ARGHH........

HH!!!!!!!!........................

I am Irish and the Irish tend to be superstitious, my dear old mum had a saying for everything. Some of them were hilarious! So although I am not at all superstitious I still find myself being reminded of the sayings. For example if I drop a knife on the floor, the saying, ‘knife on the floor, stranger at the door’ goes through my head, madness really!

I just buy lottery tickets.

me too.

13 and 313 and 113 and ...

I voted no, I have just been listening to a Danish radio program on the subject, and some specialist claims the fri 13th is actually a lucky day, it's the 16th which is " bad "

Not on Saturday the 14th

Has anyone noticed that Thais are becoming less superstitious?

There seem to be lots of barbers open on Wednesdays these days.

I am very superstitious, but I had a very good night at poker last night!

How can one day be unlucky for every single person in the world - impossible.

One that scares me is when that bird flies over the house, meaning someone is going to die.
