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!

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

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...

Ah yes the ol ratio of 13 to(2) 69 = 5.307692 307692 307692 307692....... 
I think 13/13/13 would be more amazing especially if it was a Friday

Perhaps 13/13/13 fell on a leap year

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

Geez, if you don't believe in a 13th month you've got no hope of accepting the concept of 2 1/211~7 (two and a half hundred and eleventy seven)
