I didn't even notice until you mentioned it - although I did have a black cat plant himself on my keyboard today :p

I think bad luck on friday the 13th only happens in USA. Probably because us Australians don't have Fed Ex. :D
 
If 13 is an unlucky number, 12 is guilty by association. Yesterday, I had to restore my iPod and lost the data on it, and 10.4.4 caused my Safari to have a mild case of the blues.

Today can only be better *fingers crossed*
 
I personally don't take part in the "13 is a bad number" superstition. In fact, I think it's a good number! I also have a "tradition" in my family: for us, money comes on Friday the 13th! And no, that's not just a weekly paycheck.

Can't wait for tomorrow! Happy money day!

I hate the number 13, and I'll avoid it at all costs. For example -- I'll never put the volume control on my car's stereo to '13', even if it is the optimal listening level. I'll change it to '12' or '14', but never '13'. And if I like track #13 on a CD, I'll copy it onto another CD first, give it a track number other than '13'. Just a creepy ass number.
 
i know today is my friend's birthday, she was also born on Fri. 13th....
and my mail keeps acting up... i can't send mail nor receive it..

Sort of like Novalee Nation and fives, well without the gruesome justifications :D

Today is the birthday of one of my good friends, too... she turns 35 today.

Been trying to go out with her for a LONG time... maybe it'll happen soon. :)
 
Don't be afraid to click this fearful link! :eek: :eek: :eek:

I don't believe in that stuff myself. It's merely a coincidence that the major server change we scheduled at work for this Friday has already hit a major snag, even before the 13th begins.

My cat is a calico. Does that count?

Incidentally, I'm sitting the GRE in less than 8 hours. Hopefully the bad luck will go bother someone else today.
