Thirteen Freaky Facts About Friday the Thirteen

Does Friday the 13th freak you out? If so, hold on to your rabbit's foot extra tight, because there are three of these supposedly unlucky dates in 2012, and today (April 13) is one of them.

1. This year is a special one for Friday the 13ths: There are three of them: Jan. 13, April 13 and July 13. The freaky thing? The dates fall exactly 13 weeks apart. That hasn't happened since 1984.

2. If that scares you, you may have paraskavedekatriaphobia (also known as friggatriskaidekaphobia). Those are the scientific terms for fear of Friday the 13th. Triskaidekaphobia is fear of the number 13.

3. It's not clear when or why Friday the 13th became associated with bad luck. The association may be biblical, given that the 13th guest at the Last Supper betrayed Jesus. His crucifixion was the next day, apparently a Friday. Or maybe 13 suffers from coming after the more-pleasing number 12, which gets to number the months, the days of Christmas and even the eggs in a dozen. (There are also 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel and 12 apostles of Jesus.)

4. Whatever the reason, fear of 13 has spread far and wide: Hotels and hospitals often skip the 13th floor, and even airports quietly omit gate 13 sometimes.

5. The next year in which we'll have three Friday the 13ths is 2015. They'll fall in February, March and November.

6. If you think your Friday the 13th is likely to be bad, be glad you aren't a 14th-century Knight Templar. On Oct. 13, 1307, officers of King Philip IV of France raided the homes of thousands of these Crusades warriors, imprisoning them on charges of illegal activities. Though the charges weren't proven, more than a hundred died of terrible torture, according to "Tales of the Knights Templar" (Warner Books, 1995).

7. Fittingly, director of psychological thrillers Alfred Hitchcock was born on the 13th — Friday, Aug. 13, 1999, would have been his 100th birthday. Perhaps aptly titled "Number 13," a film that was supposed to be Hitchcock's directorial debut never made it past the first few scenes and was shut down due to financial problems. He allegedly said the film wasn't very interesting. (Meanwhile, Fidel Castro was born on Friday the 13th, in August 1926.)

8. Why does the Friday the 13th superstition stick so firmly in our minds? According to Thomas Gilovich, who chairs the department of psychology at Cornell University, our brains are almost too good at making associations.

"If anything bad happens to you on Friday the 13th, the two will be forever associated in your mind, and all those uneventful days in which the 13th fell on a Friday will be ignored," Gilovich said in a statement.

9. For pagans, 13 is actually a lucky number. It corresponds with the number of full moons in a year.

10. President Franklin D. Roosevelt is said to have avoided travel on the 13th day of any month, and would never host 13 guests at a meal. Napoleon and President Herbert Hoover were also triskaidekaphobic, with an abnormal fear of the number 13.

11. Mark Twain once was the 13th guest at a dinner party. A friend warned him not to go. "It was bad luck," Twain later told the friend. "They only had food for 12." Superstitious diners in Paris can hire a quatorzieme, or professional 14th guest.

12. Stock broker and author Thomas W. Lawson, in his 1907 novel "Friday the Thirteenth," wrote of a stockbroker's attempts to take down Wall Street on the unluckiest day of the month. Reportedly, stock brokers after this were as unlikely to buy or sell stocks on this unlucky day as they were to walk under a ladder, according to accounts of a 1925 New York Times article.

13. This fear of Friday the 13th can be serious business, according to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, N.C., which, among other things, offers therapy to help people overcome their fear of the freaky friday. Their estimates suggest hundreds of millions of dollars, up to $900 million are lost due to people's fear of flying or doing the business as usual that day, though that number isn't backed up with other estimates.

Multi Level Marketing Scam

Recently I have a few Encounter with a few Multi Level Marketing Companies through my Relatives and Friends, after attending a few of their Seminar I had come to a Conclusion that it is really a Scam.

They told you that people are split into Four Categories: Employed, Self Employed, Business Owner and Investor. Employed and Self Employed People took up 90% of the Population but only control 10% of the Money while Business Owner and Investor took up 10% of the Population and control 90% of the Money. The Rich are able to control large percentage of the Money is because they started a System and get people to keep the System Running. That is what They call Passive Income, if you work hard enough to build a Business and get Talents to run the Business for you, you can Sit Back and Enjoy your Life without any Worry for Money.

They continue by telling you They are selling a very good Health Care Products which through what they call Direct Marketing had eliminate the need for Raw Material, Manufacturing Plant, Storage Facility, Transportation Network, Distribution Network, Retailer Network and Advertising Media to Start a Business. So this had help them Lower the Cost of their Products and enable People like you to Generate Additional Profits through the Sales and Marketing of their Products. They try to convince you that the Products they sell are Daily Necessities and by Building a Network of Consumers under you it will help the Whole Group benefits from the Passive Income which were Generated.

So, all those above are Beautiful Lies to convince People who are not Happy with their Present Job and Life and Hope that Things will Change for the Better. They give you a False Dream which not many People can Achieve and try to make you Convince those who are around you to Believe in that too. The Truth is that only a very Small Percentage of the People at the Top of the Pyramid can really Achieve that Dream, and in order to Maintain that Dream they have to Convince more people to Believe the Same. That is what we call Pyramid Scheme or Multi Level Marketing, they would rather prefer the Term to be call Direct Marketing or Network Marketing.

First Thing to Ponder is that can you really Enjoy your Life without any Worry for Money? Business will not Run by itself without Proper Management, so you have to Spend most of your Time and Effort to Manage it whether you like it or not. A Business is not Secure if you doesn't own any of the Asserts, you are just a Cheap Labour for their Transportation Network, Distribution Network, Retailer Network and Advertising Media while they own the Raw Material, Manufacturing Plant and Storage Facility for the Products. They have already make most of the Profit by Monopolizing the Market and Selling the Products to you at a Price Higher than the Usual Competitor in the Market and their Products are not as good as they claim if they are unable to put it in the Open Market to compete with Other Similar Products which are selling at a Lower Price.

The Next Thing to Ponder is that will the System still Work if it came to a Point where no more people are willing to join the Network? You have to follow their System in Order for the System to Work, you have to convince more people to Share the same Dream and join the Network for it to Expand. You cannot Achieve unless you Work very Hard to Fulfill that and you will be Classified by them as Unsuitable if you are unable to Prove to them that you can bring in more People to join the Network. So it had become a Vicious Cycle of Never Ending Pursuit of a False Dream which only a Small Percentage of People at the Top of the System can Achieve.

The Last Thing to Ponder is how much Time, Effort and Money you are going to Invest in this Happy Life or Dream Project? You are Working very Hard to Fulfill Their Dream, you are still the 90% of the Population who only Control 10% of the Money. They had Succeed because They had Manage to Convince you to Work for them, but the Rewards they Offer you are way much Lower than what you should Normally get. You have Sacrificed your Quality Time with your Family and instead of Aiming for Work Life Balance they had Manage to Convince you that Working for them is Your Ultimate Dream and they had Given you a Happy Life and a Greater Purpose in the Society.

Happiness is a Journey, not a Destination.
