Less than three hours left, and nobody has posted anything about Friday the 13th superstitions! Are we becoming less superstitious?

Anyway, theories on the reason for this?

My favourite is that the attack by the King of France on the Templars (which effectively destroyed the order) took place on this date.

A young boy drowned at Camp Crystal Lake because the caretakers were busy having sex and not watching the children.
This event sent the boys mother insane and she spent some time when the camp reopened hacking up the new guardians usually while they were getting it on. Although she sometimes let them finish.
The boy himself would later return from the dead, rather bizarrely as a fully grown man.....his name?

Or maybe in Religion, as I believe the number 13 being unlucky has in roots in xtianity, as Judas, the betrayer, was the 13th disciple.

Okay, just for Ogo and River_Styx, I will strip.

Hmmm...."So Alive" by Love and Rockets?

You will just have to imagine it, however. But Happy Birthday to you both...

P.S. Ogo, sorry about the do-it-yourself nature of your present, but I was too cheap to pay for someone to come to your door.

Blah

Ah, TY Nonny. I know many xtian holidays and legends have their roots in much earlier beliefs, but was not aware of that one.
