It's Friday the 13th! This date has been associated with bad luck for centuries. Many people believe that this day is cursed and in an almost Halloween-like atmosphere, tell spooky tales about misfortunes that have taken place on this day. The fear of Friday the 13th has been called friggatriskaidekaphobia, and while it may seem like an outdated concept to fear the day, the superstition still lives. According to some estimations, the world loses $700 to $800 million in revenue on Friday the 13th because people do not want to conduct business. And it's not just that, 80 percent of the high rise buildings reportedly skip the 13th floor and many airports and hospitals skip gate 13 and room 13, respectively. Several theories have been proposed about the origin of the Friday the 13th superstition . But the one that we like the most is that in numerology the number twelve is considered the number of divine organizational arrangement or chronological completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve hours of the clock day, twelve gods of Olympus, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, the twelve successors of Muhammad in Shia Islam, twelve signs of the Zodiac, the 12 years of the Buddhist cycle, etc., whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness. Nevertheless, today we feel like it could be a funny day if you forget about the bad things and superstitions and indulge in some funny phrases that we've gathered up for you regarding the date. - "If you stand in front of a mirror and say One Direction 5 times, they come out and haunt you." - "On Friday the 13th weird things are supposed to happen ... Maybe I'll get in to a relationship." - "It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday,' said Jason Voorhees." - "Friday the 13th. Where are you Rebecca Black?" - "Friday the 13th would be a lot more frightening if Jason chased you down in a big SUV and made you pay to fill it up with gas." - "It's Friday the 13th. This simply means that most of my children will blame witchcraft for their regular stupidity."

Hi all When I play A game I really like, I always quit after A big win or after I have won free spins, thinking it might take awhile to win big again. Is that superstition or just Common sense? I won't play the game again until the next day. Thanks Sorenjo
