Friday ... the 13th.

[Jack]

My Mom had to drive down to a funeral in Ohio by herself on the 13th. She showed up without a hiccup though. I never really understood the superstition.

... driving to a Funeral, ... Bad Luck for somebody.

I had a new "throne" installed. It's taller than the old one and more comfortable.

No more squatty potty!

The new morning constitutional porcelain throne since the old constitutional is dust in the wind....

Nope. I now, on my new comfortable throne, sit proudly on high and can overlook my conquered lands (my back yard)

Friday the 13th was the day that the Pope had the Knights Templar rounded up, tortured, and murdered.

That's not the source of it though. That's just a footnote that increased the wariness of the superstition.

Here's a list of footnotes.

Causes of fear of Friday the 13th phobia

The main reason behind the fear of Friday the 13th is due to the negative associations with Friday and the number 13 in many religions and cultures.

Friday the 13th is associated with the crucifixion of Lord Jesus. Hence, many devout Christians believe that this date is unlucky. The Great Flood also occurred on a Friday. The Bible also mentions that the Last Supper had 13 members (where the 13th member was the same one who ultimately betrayed Jesus).

In Israel, the number 12 is considered lucky owing to 12 tribes of Israel. Conversely, 13 is considered very ‘unlucky’.

In Roman culture, witches are believed to have gathered in groups of 12 where the 13th witch is the ‘Devil’ itself.

Superstition and fear associated with Friday the 13th specifically grew during the middle ages. This was the time when the Knights Templars were tortured by King Philip IV of France. (The day of torture happened to be Friday the 13th).

In British culture; Friday and 13 are associated with capital punishment. Friday was “the day of the hangman or the noose” as many public hangings took place on this day. (Also there were exactly 13 steps to the gallows.)

Many movies, especially in the horror genre, have depicted the day as the ‘day of evil’.

Even though I'm OCD things like that just seem weird to me.
