Fun and short NPR piece from a few years ago on the Unlucky 13
I never quite understood why Friday linked with 13 was somehow worse than Monday the 13th, but apparently at the height of the superstition, Fridays were Hangman's Days for convicted criminals sent to the gallows, which, admittedly, would not be terribly lucky.
Anyway, our Friday the 13th is beautiful, crisp and clear, with frost on the grass and not a cloud in the sky.
