Friday the 13th Websites

Hi Everyone!

After being culturally obligated to talk about Valenine's Day last week, I have decided that this week I would feature Friday The 13th websites in order to make up for "neglecting" the holiday last week.

You may think that there are no websites for a holiday like Friday the 13th, but there are.

Here's the breakdown:

A bit about the history of Friday the 13th (http://www.opinionjournal.com/taste/?id=110009086)- This site explores why we fear the 13th and whether or not more unlucky accidents occur on this auspicious day.

"Cures" for Friday the 13th (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/02/0212_040212_friday13.html)- This articles explores the origin of Friday the 13th like the website about, but it also offers suggestions for those who have trouble coping with superstitions.

Friday the 13th Factoids (http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090213/sc_livescience/13factsaboutfridaythe13th)- How many Friday the 13ths will there be this year?

Funny Superstitions (http://www.islandnet.com/~luree/silly.html)- A long list of superstitions and their origins. Some of these I hadn't heard of before.

Stories of Bad Luck on the 13th (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/chat/your_comments/newsid_3486000/3486123.stm)- Read about other people's bad (and even good) luck on Friday the 13th. Scroll down to see.

Good Luck,

It's coming along great! We've had a great response from our community and local media and we're starting to spread across our province. Our book launch is planned for March 26th.
