According to the Argentinian traditions, Tuesday 13th (not Friday) is the bad luck day. What about that tradition in your country?

Hello daielleta,

Well!!  number 13 by itself brings bad luck , not necessarily Jan. 13. I�m a kind of person who believes in such things, but they don�t turn my life upside down. Sometimes i feel that even well-educated people are at times a little bit superstitious!!!! Sometimes I feel myself this way!!! Should Science and educational progress keep us away from superstition????

What do you think????
 
Big kisses,
Nebal

Do you think that when the Earth spins, on 13th happens something different?? They just divided the time into smaller parts called days and gave them numbers.  I want to believe  that 13 is just the day between 12th and 14th. Even it happens to be on Tuesday or Friday!!
