FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13th., 2020
TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA!
Today is Friday the 13th! It's considered
to be very unlucky by many people! Traditionally
the number 13 has been considered unlucky. You
won't find a floor marked 13 in most high rise
buildings in big cities like New York. Ship
captains often refused to sail if the crew numbered
12 because, the captain would make the 13th
person on board. Now how Friday got tied in with
the number I'm not really sure. Some Biblical
scholars believe that Cain killed Abel on a
Friday the 13th. I'm not exactly sure how they
did their calculations since I doubt very much
that either brother had a calendar on the wall
back then! There are some people who take
the opposite point of view, believing that
Friday the 13th is a lucky day. Lottery sales
are usually up on this day and date! We've got
two of them in the year 2020. Today, and the
other was in March. Just about the time the
pandemic scare was really getting underway.
Maybe there's something to this bad luck thing!
Hope all your luck and your NEWS is good!
