Firday the 13th

Tänään onkin sitten perjantai kolmastoista! Nää perjantait on aina olleet mun suosikkeja, luonnollisesti sen taikauskon takia. Alunperinhän mokoma päivä johtui mitä luultavimmin temppeliherra legendasta jossa kuninkaan kirjoittamassa kirjeessä oli syytöksiä temppeliherrojen harjoittamasta saatananpalvonnasta ja kirjeen sai avata vasta kolmastoista päivä perjantaita. Temppeliherrat päätyi loppuen lopuksi roviolle, joten eipä tuo heille ainakaan ollut onnenpäivä. Tämä oli siis 1300-luvulla. 1800-luvulta on ilmeisesti varmempaa todistetta päivän taikauskoisuudesta, mutta 1900-luvulla Thomas Lawsonin Friday the 13th kirja toi päivälle enemmän pontta. Mua on aina naurattanut kaikki jotka uskovat perjantai 13sta olevan jotenkin pahaksi ja mustien kissojen (jossa tämä vanhanaikainen saatananpalvonta/kristinusko/noitapelko, kissathan olivat noitien, eli saatanan kätyreiden kumppaneita..oikeasti noidilla ei ole mitään tekemistä saatanoiden kanssa ja kyllä noidilla voi olla vaikka valkonen kissa tai ei kissaa ollenkaan..), tikapuiden ali menemisestä ja ties minkä muka huonoa onnea tuottavan jutun kannalla, vaikka ei muuten usko MIHINKÄÄN taikaan.. se että perjantaisin tapahtuu jotain pahaa, ei eroa mitenkään mistään muista päivistä, ihmiset vaan sattuu kiinnittämään huomiota pahoihin juttuihin normaalia enemmän. Löytyyhän noita historiallisia juttuja lisääkin,, mutta mulla on tässä kiire, kun olen pian lähdössä viikonlopuksi Helsinkiin.

Ja tietenkin Perjantai kolmastoista leffat on suuria suosikkeja, jotain hyvää siis tästäkin taikauskoisuudesta.

Translation:

I have always like Friday the 13th, it is the day when my dad was born (actually the unluckiest day of the year) so I don´t think that is that unlucky day that people think. Funniest thing about the day is, that it makes people think that magic exists.. but just only once or few times in year.. why is that? It is just a normal day, just like the other days. But yeah, the legends are interesting and the things that people thinks that happens just because it is Friday.  

This is from Wikipedia:

According to folklorists, there is no written evidence for a "Friday the 13th" superstition before the 19th century. The earliest known documented reference in English occurs in Henry Sutherland Edwards' 1869 biography of Gioachino Rossini, who died on a Friday 13th.

He [Rossini] was surrounded to the last by admiring friends; and if it be true that, like so many Italians, he regarded Fridays as an unlucky day and thirteen as an unlucky number, it is remarkable that one Friday 13th of November he died.

Several theories have been proposed about the origin of the Friday the 13th superstition.
One theory states that it is a modern amalgamation of two older superstitions: that thirteen is an unlucky number and that Friday is an unlucky day.

• In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve hours of the clock, twelve gods of Olympus, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, the 12 successors of Muhammad in Shia Islam, twelve signs of the Zodiac, etc., whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness. There is also a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last Supper or a Norse myth, that having thirteen people seated at a table results in the death of one of the diners.
• Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century's The Canterbury Tales, and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects.
• Friday is also the day when Jesus Christ was crucified, making it through folklore and adding to its unpopularity.
• One author, noting that references are all but nonexistent before 1907 but frequently seen thereafter, has argued that its popularity derives from the publication that year of Thomas W. Lawson's popular novel Friday, the Thirteenth, in which an unscrupulous broker takes advantage of the superstition to create a Wall Street panic on a Friday the 13th.
• Records of the superstition are rarely found before the 20th century, when it became extremely common. The connection between the Friday the 13th superstition and the Knights Templar was popularized in Dan Brown's 2003 novel The Da Vinci Code and in John J. Robinson's 1989 work Born in Blood: The Lost Secrets of Freemasonry. On Friday, 13 October 1307, hundreds of the Knights Templar were arrested in France, an action apparently motivated financially and undertaken by the efficient royal bureaucracy to increase the prestige of the crown. Philip IV was the force behind this ruthless move, but it has also tarnished the historical reputation of Clement V. From the very day of Clement V's coronation, the king falsely charged the Templars with heresy, immorality and abuses, and the scruples of the Pope were compromised by a growing sense that the burgeoning French State might not wait for the Church, but would proceed independently. However, experts agree that this is a relatively recent correlation, and most likely a modern-day invention.
