Hope everybody has a lucky Friday the 13th today.   Thumbs Up

Found an interesting list of events that happened on Friday the 13th, that I thought I would share with you all here:

- July 1951: The Great Flood killed 24 people, destroyed more than 2 million acres of land in Kansas and caused $760 million in damage.

- March 1964: The "Good Friday" earthquake wasn't actually so good. It remains the largest earthquake in North American history, killing 131 people near Prince William Sound.

- July 1987: An F4 tornado ripped through Edmonton, Alberta, killing 27 people and injuring at least 300.

- March 1992: An earthquake killed nearly 2,000 people and left 50,000 homeless in Turkey.

- Tupac Shakur was shot and killed in Las Vegas on a Friday the 13th.

- Al Capone was sentenced to prison on a Friday the 13th.

- Benny Goodman, the King of Swing, died on a Friday the 13th.

- Hubert Humphrey, the 38th president of the United States, died on a Friday the 13th.

You can find 13 more facts here:

So is there something to worry about, or is it all a bunch of hooey?

lol @ people getting a collection of information.

Answer to poll: No, i'm not. I've never believed/cared about "Full Moon" "Friday the 13th", etc.

Edit: the lol was at the original posted on the site, not you.

I'm figuring my chances . . .

I take the odds of a president dying on a friday the 13th  (1 president out of 44) multiplied by my chances of becoming president . . .

I think I'm good.
