Its amazing how the pope ordering the massacre of the Knights Templar on a Friday, which happened to to be the 13th, controls some people lives, it could just as easily been Thursday 10th.

Paf, horse poo and nonsence.

You should be wary of Mondays to quote a girlie magazine.

“As it is known, people are afraid of Friday 13. However, according to our data, biggest quantity of various troubles, accidents, road traffic accidents, fires etc. happens right on Monday 27, - an insurance company representative states.
In general, any Mondays, as it is known, - are hard days, and people do not like them. Research, carried out by Japanese scientists showed that quantity of heart attacks and apoplectic strokes significantly grows on Monday morning. Doctors fix the biggest quantity of vascular deaths.

“Most people are free from moral and physical loads on Sunday. So, it is very difficult for them to come from rest to work”, - doctors explain.

By Monday morning most people have increased pressure, what leads to bad state of health and even death.

“If you represent a person’s blood pressure in the form of diagram, them Monday morning will be the highest point of it”.

“On Mondays we fix the biggest number of suicide attempts. Experts say phenomenon of heightened number of suicides on Monday allows supposing that suicide is connected with the effect of a new period beginning. Desperate people sometimes cannot stand a thought that another week, resembling previous one, begins”.

I also say 'morning Mr Magpie' and use twice as much salt making my bread as I need to, because when I measure a teaspoon I nearly always spill a bit and then have to pour some into my hand to throw over my left-shoulder

I don't remember seeing the ticky box where I was to state I was of sound mind when I joined Vine.....

Friday the 13th reminds me of my grandad - his birthday was 13th Dec. Of course, it wasn't always on a Friday Anyway, he was a lovely man, so it can't possibly be unlucky
