The slaying of the Templar Nights by the Pope supposedly happened all around Europe on Friday the 13th.Micha wrote:Wow.. I hadn't even noticed it's that kind of day again.
As a query of interest, I'm aware that '13' is considered unlucky for some obscure reason (yes, I could look on the internet), but why is Friday unlucky? I mean.. end of working week, surely that's a good thing? If anything, -Monday- the 13th should be much worse??
The earliest known documented reference in English occurs in Henry Sutherland Edwards' 1869 biography of Gioachino Rossini.
Which brings to mind the 13th Floor Elevators, an early psychedelic rock band.Cmdr Wyvern wrote:thus why you'd be hard put to find a 13th floor in a skyscraper.
That is something what i never understood. When you don't want to live in the 13th floor and live on the 14th (or 12b) but there is no number 13, you do know you live on the 13th after all. If you don't want on the 13th, you should have problems with that floor no matter how it is called. So, there is no real reason for those stupid numbering.Cmdr Wyvern wrote:thus why you'd be hard put to find a 13th floor in a skyscraper.
That's because you're an intelligent person and the fear is a load of cobblers.Eric Walch wrote:That is something what I never understood.Cmdr Wyvern wrote:thus why you'd be hard put to find a 13th floor in a skyscraper.
