  • "..fewer accidents and reports of fire and theft occur when the 13th of the month falls on a Friday than on other Fridays."

    Is that because everyone's hiding under a bed, scared that something bad might happen...

  • The movies would have you believe differently.

    Maybe we've been getting it all wrong and Friday the 13th is actually a lucky day.

  • Dutch statisticians need to go outside and play. Of all the wonders that statistics can do for mankind, the Dutch like to use them for this.

    How unfortunate!

  • Well IF this is true then why did the belief of Friday the 13th being an UN-lucky day come about?

    Or is it just that things are better now, so there's less things that are considered unlucky that can occur?

    Apparently Tupac died on Friday 13th so definitely not his luckiest day. Um, obviously.

  • I've never bought the whole Friday the 13th as unlucky bit anyway. It's Friday, that must be something good!

  • Unfortunately, billions of dollars are lost every friday the 13th because a massive amount of people don't leave there homes. (no shopping, no working, etc.)
