Friday the 13th

Today is Friday the 13th. Are you one of those that believes Friday the 13th is an unlucky day? When I was still in school (19 kopong-kopong) I remembered asking my teacher why it is considered as unlucky day. She said because of some Christian beliefs that Jesus was crucified on a Friday and the big flood started on a Friday. On the other hand, I read an article in reuters that based on Dutch statistics, they found out that Friday the 13th turned out to be safer than an ordinary Fridays. There were fewer reports of accidents, fire and theft recorded. Isn’t it because it turned out that everyone became so careful on Friday the 13th? It worked well if that’s the case. For me, I don’t have any beliefs on Friday the 13th. I try to be very careful everyday not just on Friday the 13th.
