friday 13th; some reasons why it's considered unlucky

Some say the number 13 was purposely vilified by the priests of patriarchal religions because it represented femininity. Thirteen corresponded to the number of lunar (menstrual) cycles in a year, and the number was revered in prehistoric goddess-worshipping cultures.

Hindus believed that it was unlucky for 13 people to gather in one place. This conviction was shared by the ancient Scandinavians.

Many biblical events of negative import supposedly occurred on a Friday, including the ejection of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, the start of the Great Flood, and the crucifixion of Jesus

All balls.

It's considered unlucky because Jesus (supposedly) died on a Friday, and, at least to start with, there were 13 present in the room.

As far as I know, anyway.

Lots, but I can only remember a bird shitting on me. Twice.

The same bird twice or two different birds? Same bird twice would be very harsh.

Especially if it was an ostrich.

Probably two different ones.

Oh, I also remember falling in mud when playing football. I was in my black school uniform at the time, I was covered.
