At least once a year, the calendar dates align to give us a Friday the 13th. Airline ticket prices tend to dip, your superstitious boss avoids important meetings and the whole day, there's a small part of you that's just waiting for something weird to happen.
Why are we like this? Whether you are superstitious or not, you can't escape the chatter circling the spookiest calendar date. Why 13?The fear of 13 dates back centuries and many believe it originates from the Code of Hammurabi which reportedly left out a 13th law from its written legal codes. However, in reality, this was actually just an error made by one of the translators who simply omitted a line of text. 'use strict';CNN.Videx=CNN.Videx || {};CNN.Videx.mobile={};CNN.INJECTOR.
The fear of '13' 05:10Such superstitions have persisted even among history's greatest minds. The great Austrian-American composer Arnold Schoenberg had such a severe case of triskaidekaphobia , he omitted numbering the 13th measure in some of his later works, substituting it with the notation"12a." He was also reportedly deeply afraid of dying on a year or at an age that was a multiple of 13.
Politicians, beware the Ides of March 01:54The real Friday the 13th hysteria started in the 20th century. Many date this back to Thomas Lawson's book"Friday, the Thirteenth" which is about a stockbroker who chooses this day to deliberately crash the stock market. One year later in 1908, The New York Times became one of the first media outlets to acknowledge the superstitions of Friday the 13th.
Good luck to your ratings! 😆
Way to totally miss on this story, the origin of Friday the 13th being unlucky derives from the King of France ordering the arrest and execution of The Knights Templar on the morning of...you guessed it...Friday the 13th🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Well, It's my lucky day.
'Good luck' - why, who are you going to smear?
Good luck? Nah, too late.
No worries, the unlucky Spanish day is Tuesday 13th. So, this is nonsense.

In reality, for the World, the US sanctions are like the cry of a dying American man in the desert. Turkey may consider closing Incirlik air base to US troops in response to US sanctions over the purchase of Russian s-400 air defense systems.
And why do gobshites still get freaked out by it ?
