How could I have missed this? I noticed when my friend from Myspace made a comment about it. I have been curious about this day. I only knew of this day because of Friday the 13th the movie. Back in Elementary school people told me that wearing black clothing would bring unfortunate events to that person. I wore tons of black and I still do. It's the one color I don't have to worry about matching.
I was bored, so I went to read a little about it.
It turns out that some sites like about.com and wikeapedia.com made a link that in the Last Supper there were exactly 13 people in the table and that the day of crucifixion was Friday.
They also mention some Pagans and Egyptians believed that the number 12 represented life and that 13th represented death and beyond.
Some said that that the day Eve gave Adam the apple in the Bible was a Friday.
Another one said that cavemen could count up to 12 and that that 13 represented the unknown of new discoveries that they feared.
Overall, I know a little more than I did before, and it was good use to my 5 minute "research" lol.
Plus, on my way I learned a new word Paraskevidekatriaphobia, which means fear of Friday the 13th. I would love to see this type of word in a typical spelling bee.
