Morning roommies:D
I just pop in to see who is on. But I have to work today, Not much time for the CDR. But if I can I always pop in here for a short and curious look !;):)
Hope you are well.
In Germany it is still cold too. But the "weather-man" said that it will be warmer the next days.

Adam. Anyone?
When did Friday the 13th become known as unlucky? And why?
Good morning, Ed! :)
An easy one.
Some Christians consider the number 13 unlucky as it was the number of people present at The Last Supper. The number and the related fear, known as triskaidekaphobia originated in the Middle Ages with the general fall into various superstitions that occurred at this time.
Friday's became unlucky at about the same time, because Jesus is said to have been cruicified on Good Friday.
But the two don't seem to be used together until the mid 19th century. This is paraskevidekatriaphobia.
