Friday The 13th

I know today is Friday, and i know today is 13 of July, but when my colleague told me, oi, today is Friday the 13th wor, only i realize..yawor, Friday the 13th wor... unlucky day?

This is something i found from the Wikipedia.
A Friday occurring on the 13th day of any month is considered to be a day of bad luck in English, German, Polish and Portuguese-speaking cultures around the globe. Similar superstitions exist in some other traditions. In Greece or Spain, for example, Tuesday the 13th takes the same role.

you telling me only Chinese are superstitious? haha, i think for them the number 13 is just like our number 4 ('sei' = die), everyone knows most chinese don't like the number 4. 13th is unlucky, friday is also unlucky (if friday unlucky then why there's good friday? *scratching head*), so friday + 13 equal super unlucky day?

I don't really trust these things. If you wake up in the morning telling yourself today is Friday the 13th, the unlucky day, something definitely will go wrong.. then, ya, this is the day, the unlucky day for you. But, if you treat it like just a normal day, i think everything will just be fine...

So, do you believe in friday the 13th?
