#2 Actually, I heard that Friday the 13th wasn't considered unlucky until after the French king decided to shut down the Knights Templar on that day.

#4 and Friday was sacred to Druids and Muslims - both groups being competitors for believers, and early enemies of Christianity.

I don't think there were any Druids left when Christianity started about 2 thousand years ago, and certainly no Muslims because they didn't appear until around 750 AD or so, hardly early Christianity. But why let facts get in the way ?

#5 Hah! Had a good day at work up at the Lab (LBNL) and then visited the UCB Insectary and found a PhD (specialty in parasitic wasps) that was willing to act as a consultant for the new book I'm writing (scifi) and arranged for a tour of said facility!

Great day!

Bad luck, pah!
