Some say when the 13th of the month falls on a Friday the day will be unlucky.

But let’s put this in perspective.

Each of our months has a 13th day. There is a one out of seven chance that the day falls on a Friday. That means, assuming you’ve made it this far, you’ve survived a number of these days already.

I’m 37 years old, or nearly 450 months. That’s more than 60 Friday the 13ths I’ve already survived.

So we should be good, right?

Of course, that’s probably what they want you to think.

Hmm.
