Logic or Luck 711f53

OK but maybe you are a completely logical person and you’ve realized that bad luck is a bunch of baloney. People who believe Friday the 13^th has evil superstitions have a sickness or a phobia called friggatriskaidekaphobia and it is because they are scared of the number 13. What the heck is wrong with 13 anyways?

Unlucky List 302e6g

It’s kind of funny how 13 became an unlucky number, but this will help explain why Friday the 13^th became known as the “unlucky” day:

• The number 12 completes everything like months of the year and hours of the clock so everyone got mad at 13 because it’s the first number outside of the box of completeness.
• In some stories called “The Canterbury Tales”, the English made Friday an unlucky day by writing some scary stories about bad things that happen on Friday.
• The biggest reason why Friday has such a bad wrap is because according to the Christian scripture, Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
