I was born on the 13th (January, on a Wednesday) so I've had my share of Friday the 13th celebrations. 13 was also my athletic number in high school. Everybody thought I was crazy, but hey, I ended up being the star player. Doesn't seem unlucky to me!! <strong>365 Halloween Response:</strong> <em>High five, that's my birthday, too! Our perceived luck really seems to make a difference if you were both on the 13th. I expected to have fun on those days (party, cake, toys, etc.) so I'm not surprised that I have so many good memories that happen on the 13th - both Fridays and non Fridays. Does anybody else with a 13th birthday agree? -Lauren</em> I’m not superstitious, so it’s not unlucky for me.

I got a fulltime job. So I gues it was lucky for me. Too bad about Tim Russert though 58 is awful young to go. I did celebrate by watching a couple Haunting episodes. Well I don’t know about unlucky.

Mostly I'm sure it's the same kind of observation error that convinces people that more weird things happen during a full moon; you don't pay any attention to the date if something bad happens on some other day, but if it happens on Friday the 13th you notice because it's supposed to be unlucky. It sort of becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Well, Tim Russert kicked today, so I guess it was unlucky for *him*.
