ONLINE QUESTION
Now, I'm not saying that you, the enlightened trivia buffs, are a superstitious lot. But, let's face it, who among us hasn't thrown salt over their shoulder after a spill, or knocked on wood after making a hopeful statement? And why? Because it's fun? Because it makes us feel connected to our superstitious ancestors? Or because, deep down, there's a tiny part of us that thinks, 'Well, it couldn't hurt, right?'
And let's not forget about the poor number 13. It's just a number, right? But in many cultures, it's considered unlucky. In fact, some buildings don't even have a 13th floor. It goes straight from 12 to 14. Now, that's what I call 'taking superstition to new heights!'
Then, there's the combination of Friday and 13. Put them together and what do you get? The most dreaded day on the calendar. But why? Well, there are many theories. Some say it's because of the Last Supper, where there were 13 guests and the next day was Good Friday, the day of crucifixion. Others say it's because of the Knights Templar, who were arrested on Friday, October 13, 1307.
So, the next time Friday the 13th rolls around, whether you decide to hide under the covers, or go about your day as usual, remember this: superstitions are only as powerful as the belief we give them. And if you do happen to see a black cat, don't panic. It's probably just looking for its missing salt shaker.
