Friday the 13th

[33South]

Anybody believe its unlucky, or have an ancedote to support the theory.

I dont, but just in case Im leaving my mirror wash until tomorrow :mad2:

[ving]

nah! its all codswallop!

I have a black cat, she has crosssed my path many times inthe past 2 years, even a few times today.

ouch, i just stubbed my toe :(

[ballaratdragons]

Nope! I don't believe in supersticians!

The original thing about Friday the 13th being bad luck comes from Judas Escariot being the 13th person (Jesus & 12 apostles) and he hung himself on the Friday.

All supersticians have a background history relating them to something that happened (good or bad) and some are very bizarre.

Walking under a ladder - the painter up the ladder drops things.
Black Cat crossing your path - some people trip over them in the dark coz you can't see them

etc etc

So through history, somehow, these incidents which 'could' cause something to happen have become like a religion. 'Superstician'.

Phooey!

[asimov]

Yup.....Phooey & cods-wallop!

[Astroman]

Oh and it's almost a FULL moon Argh hides under bed.......

[toetoe]

I have bad luck most of the time, Friday the 13th is just another day to me.

[acropolite]

HRH Liz (the better half) considers Friday 13th lucky, she was born on 13th Feb and lived in number 13 in her street. :D

[ving]

i have a friend born on 13/2/69 :D

what a great birth date that would be!

[ballaratdragons]

Sorry David but I don't get the signifigance of that date?

[DRCORTEX]

Reminds me, bunch of old 'B' grade horror flicks on tonight - cool!

My lad was born on 13/9/96...a Friday.
The only thing he was cursed with is 'good luck'. Everything seems to fall at his feet.
The number on his football and basketball tops.....13...his favourite number...

[DRCORTEX]

In that case, I wish I had been born on the $$/$$/$$ ;)

[asimov]

I can relate toetoe! :lol:

Yes Slice...everything falls at my feet too....in bits/broken usually!

[gaa_ian]

Yes a crock I say too !!!
Now wher is my string of garlic & 4 leaf clover :P

[33South]

Ah yes the ol ratio of 13 to(2) 69 = 5.307692 307692 307692 307692.......:nerd:

I think 13/13/13 would be more amazing especially if it was a Friday:P

[DRCORTEX]

Perhaps 13/13/13 fell on a leap year :nerd:


Lance

[33South]

I dont think that can be a leap year, 13 is not divisible by 4 :nerd:

[ballaratdragons]

Geez, if you don't believe in a 13th month you've got no hope of accepting the concept of 21/211~7 (two and a half hundred and eleventy seven) :nerd:

[ving]

ok, you got the unlucky "13" bit, Feb is the shortest month of the year (its a variable month), and 69 unwell.... you know its 69 :ashamed:

[ballaratdragons]

Oh. OK :scared2:

[asimov]

:confuse2: :confuse3: :einstein:

[33South]

For once Ive lost it, :drink: few more, maybe it'll become clearer as the night goes on.

[DRCORTEX]

Exactly - hence the :nerd:

but just in case :nerd: or :drink: , personally, I prefer the :drink:

It is a ( can we get a bullsh*t icon from somewhere ) remark.

hehe - it's now Saturday the 14th

ciao

Lance

[davidpretorius]

i was unlucky - the seeing was terrible!!!

[33South]

Now I think I see, its nothing to do with the date, just the numbers. Thanks Vingo :mad2:

[Mikezoom]

LOL

[DRCORTEX]

Based on great blue skies, until around 18:00 in Sydney, which then became a repeat of 2 weeks of farked up weather - then Saturday the 14th! - holds just as much meaning to me :wink2:

I even stuffed around with both mirrows to learn how to collimate the scope - and got it right - well, sort of looks right - test will be the real thing I guess.

Hope one of you people are ready to guide me in if I'm wrong ( left, left, oh ****, I meant right, right - bloop - probably the same sound that an FA/18 and a farked up scope make, going over the side )
