I just noticed the Olympics will start on Friday, 13th August and finish on the 29th. Although I don't think that anything worse happens on a Friday 13th than any other day, some people might think it strange and a bit unnerving.
I've heard that before - that in many countries Tuesday, the 13th, is supposed to be unlucky. Black cats are considered lucky in Britain, and unlucky elsewhere, so if it's not "universal", I prefer to ignore it!Originally posted by yoviher
In Latin America the unlucky day is considered as tuesday 13, not friday 13. Anyway, nothing bad has ever happened to me in Friday, nor tuesday 13.
