History

According to folklorists, there is no written evidence for a "Friday the 13th" superstition before the 19th century.^[1][2][3] 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.^[4]

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, 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 will result 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,^[5] and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys, begin new projects or deploy releases in production. Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s.^[3][6]
• 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,^[7] in which an unscrupulous broker takes advantage of the superstition to create a Wall Street panic on a Friday the 13th.^[1]
• 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. ^[8] However, experts agree that this is a relatively recent correlation, and most likely a modern-day invention.^[5][6][9]

Phobia names and etymology

The fear of Friday the 13th has been called friggatriskaidekaphobia (Frigga being the name of the Norse goddess for whom "Friday" is named and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen), or paraskevidekatriaphobia^[10][11] a concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή, meaning "Friday"), and dekatreís (δεκατρείς, meaning "thirteen") attached to phobía (φοβία, from phóbos, φόβος, meaning "fear"). The latter word was derived in 1911^{[citation needed]} and first appeared in a mainstream source in 1953.^[5]

Tuesday the 13th

In Spanish-speaking countries, instead of Friday, Tuesday the 13th (martes trece) is considered a day of bad luck.^[12]

The Greeks also consider Tuesday (and especially the 13th) to be an unlucky day. Tuesday is considered to be dominated by the influence of Ares (Mars), the god of war. A connection can be seen in the etymology of the name in some European languages (Mardi in French or martes in Spanish). The Fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans happened on Tuesday, May 29, 1453, fact that strengthens the superstition about Tuesday. In addition, in Greek the name of the day is Triti (Τρίτη) meaning literally the third (day of the week), adding weight to the superstition, since bad luck is said to "come in threes".

Friday the 17th

In Italian popular culture, Friday the 17th (and not the 13th) is considered a day of bad luck.^[13] In fact, in Italy, 13 is generally considered a lucky number.^[14] However, due to Anglo-Saxon influence, young people consider Friday the 13th to be unlucky as well.^[15]

The 2000 parody film Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth was released in Italy with the title Shriek – Hai impegni per venerdì 17? ("Shriek – Do You Have Something to Do on Friday the 17th?").

Social impact

According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, an estimated 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day making it the most feared day and date in history. Some people are so paralyzed by fear that they avoid their normal routines in doing business, taking flights or even getting out of bed. "It's been estimated that [US]$800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day".^[2] Despite this, representatives for both Delta Air Lines and Continental Airlines say that their airlines do not suffer from any noticeable drop in travel on those Fridays.^[16]

Rate of accidents

The Dutch Centre for Insurance Statistics (CVS) on June 12, 2008, stated that "fewer accidents and reports of fire and theft occur when the 13th of the month falls on a Friday than on other Fridays, because people are preventatively more careful or just stay home. Statistically speaking, driving is slightly safer on Friday the 13th, at least in the Netherlands; in the last two years, Dutch insurers received reports of an average 7,800 traffic accidents each Friday; but the average figure when the 13th fell on a Friday was just 7,500."^[17][18]

Occurrence

The following months have a Friday the 13th:

This sequence given here for 2001–2028, follows a 28-year cycle from March 1, 1900 to February 28, 2100. The months with a Friday the 13th are determined by the Dominical letter (G, F, GF, etc.) of the year. Every month that begins on a Sunday will contain a Friday the 13th, and there is at least one Friday the 13th in every calendar year.

The longest period that can occur without a Friday the 13th is fourteen months, either from July to September the following common year (e.g. between 2001–02, 2012–13, and 2018–19), or from August to October the following leap year (e.g. between 1999–2000 or 2027–28).

Friday the 13th can occur as many as three times in a single year; either in February, March and November in an ordinary year (such as 1987), or January, April and July in leap years (such as 2012).

Patterns for common years: Each Gregorian 400-year cycle contains 146,097 days (365 × 400 = 146,000 normal days, plus 97 leap days) and they equal 146,097 days, total. 146,097 ÷ 7 = 20,871 weeks. Thus, each cycle contains the same pattern of days of the week (and thus the same pattern of Fridays that are on the 13th). The 13th day of the month is slightly more likely to be a Friday than any other day of the week.[19] On average, there is a Friday the 13th once every 212.35 days (compared to Thursday the 13th, which occurs only once every 213.59 days). The distribution of the 13th day over the 4,800 months is as follows: Day of the week Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Number of occurrences 687 685 685 687 684 688 684 Events on Fridays the 13th This article needs additional citations for verification.

Angel Richmond:  Urgent Appeal to the Rest of Canada The police in this country, and the authorities who command them, are getting completely out of hand, as they are elsewhere. They have lost the concept of "serving and protecting" and now attack like salivating dogs, without concern for those they are abusing with their power. Canadians should be ashamed to allow people like these over-the-top cops to use such tactics against those with legitimate protests. This is not who our police are supposed to be. When the innocent are physically injured at the hands of police, it should be a rarity and a much-regretted occurrence... but it is not. We see the police circling the wagons, and know that the whitewash is about to begin. It will be highly instructive to watch what flows from the charges against G20 officers and commanders: not nearly enough of them were slated to be charged, and not nearly enough of the recorded abuses resulted in charges. Enough. Don't these abusive officers have families and children? Would they support their own children being handled this way because they chose to state their beliefs? What would their wives or significant others say about them shooting rubber bullets at protesters and taking out their eyes? Putting them in comas? Breaking their bones? For speaking out???? IS THIS WHAT WE HAVE COME TO TOLERATE? IS THIS WHO WE ARE??? If you live next door to a cop, what does he or she have to say about this? Perhaps it's time we asked the rank and file to stand with the people they are to protect and serve, instead of the policies that turn our police into trained attack dogs.

Arguably, this recent law will unduly criminalize more law-abiding citizens than even McCarthy's hearings and the War Measures Act ever could. Among other draconian elements brought forward by this law, any gathering of 50 or more people must submit their plans to the police eight hours ahead of time and must agree to any changes to the gathering's trajectory, starttime, etc. Any failure to comply with this stifling of freedom of assembly and association will be met with a fine of up to $5,000 for every participant, $35,000 for someone representing a 'leadership' position, or $125,000 if a union - labour or student - is deemed to be in charge. The participation of any university staff (either support staff or professors) in any student demonstration (even one that follows the police's trajectory and instructions) is equally punishable by these fines. Promoting the violation of any of these prohibitions is considered, legally, equivalent to having violated them and is equally punishable by these crippling fines. One cannot view this law in isolation. In the past few months, the Québec student movement - inspired by Occupy, the Indignados of Spain, the students of Chile, and over 50 years of student struggle in Québec; and presently at North America's forefront of fighting the government's austerity agenda - has been confronted by precedent-shattering judicial and police repression in an attempt to force the end of the strike and our right to organize collectively. Our strike was voted and is re-voted every week in local general assemblies across Québec. As of May 18th, 2012 our committee has documented and is supporting 472 criminal accusations as well as 1047 ticket and penal offenses. One week in April saw over 600 arrests in three days. And those numbers only reflect those charged with an offense, without mentioning the thousands pepper sprayed and tear gassed, clubbed and beaten, detained and released. It does not mention Francis Grenier, who lost use of most of an eye when a sound grenade was illegally thrown by a police officer into his face in downtown Montreal. It does not mention Maxence Valade who lost a full eye and Alexandre Allard who clung to life in a coma on a hospital bed for days, both having received a police rubber bullet to the head in Victoriaville. And the thousands of others brutalized, terrorized, harassed and assaulted on our streets. Four students are currently being charged under provisions of the anti-terrorist laws enacted following September 11th. In addition to these criminal and penal cases, of particular concern for those of us involved in the labour movement is that anti-strike forces have filed injunctions systematically from campus to campus to prevent the enactment of strike mandates, duly and democratically voted in general assemblies. Those who have defended their strike mandates and enforced the strike are now facing Contempt of Court charges and their accompanying potential $50,000 fines and potential prison time. One of our spokespeople, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, will appear in Superior Court under such a charge for having dared say, on May 13th of this year, that "I find it legitimate" that students form picket lines to defend their strike. While we fight, on principle, against this judicialization of a political conflict, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the struggle on the streets has been, for many, transferred to the courtroom and we must act to defend our classmates, our friends and our family. This defense needs your help. Many students have been denied access to Legal Aid to help them to defend themselves. This, while students filing injunctions to end strikes have been systematically granted Legal Aid. While sympathetic lawyers in all fields of law have agreed to reduced rates and alot of free support, the inherent nature of the legal system means we are spending large sums of money on this defense by the day. It is in this context that we appeal to you to help us cover the costs of this, our defense. Not only must we help those being unduly criminalized and facing injunctions undermining their right to associate, but we must act now and make sure that the criminalization and judicialization of a political struggle does not work and set a precedent that endangers the right to free speech and free assembly. If you, your union, or your organization is able to give any amount of financial help, it would make an undeniable difference in our struggle. In addition to the outpouring of support from labour across Quebec, we have already begun to receive trans-Canadian and international solidarity donations. We thank you for adding your organization's support to the list. If you have any questions, please contact us via email legal AT asse-solidarité.qc.ca. Telephone numbers can be given to you in a private message. You can also send you donation directly to the order of "Association pour une solidarité syndicale étudiante" (2065 rue Parthenais, Bureau 383, Montréal, QC, H2K 3T1) noting "CLASSE Legal Committee" in the memo line.

Tri Rahmat Irvansyah:  Asereje, Lagu Setan ? Sebuah rumor merebak tentang lagu hits Asereje yang dinyanyikan oleh Las Ketchup, bahwa lagu tersebut adalah lagu penyembahan setan. Dari liriknya yang campuran antara Inggris dan Spanyol disebutkan bahwa terselip lirik penyembahan terhadapan setan. Kita mungkin berpikir bahwa karena itu lagu Spanyol, maka wajarlah kalau kita nggak mengerti liriknya. Tapi ada satu fakta yang mengejutkan, bahwa bahkan orang Spanyol sendiri nggak mengerti lagu ini, karena ada banyak bagian-bagian yang bukan bahasa Spanyol. Tapi lagu yang mereka tidak mengerti ini, segera meluas menjadi hits di Spanyol. Bahkan tim Bola Basket nasional Spanyol menggunakan lagu ini sebagai lagu maskot. Perdebatan kemudian terjadi di negri itu, karena lagu ini disebutkan sebagai lagu yang meramalkan akan kedatangan sang Iblis dan sambutan akannya. Coba perhatikan lyric Asereje dalam versi bahasa Inggris ini: ---------------------------------------- Friday night it's party time feeling ready looking fine, viene diego rumbeando, with the magic in his eyes checking every girl in sight, grooving like he does the mambo he's the man alli en la disco, playing sexy felling hotter, he's the king bailando et ritmo ragatanga, and the dj that he knows well, on the spot always around twelve, plays the mix that diego mezcla con la salsa, y la baila and he dances y la canta Chorus: asereje ---------------------------------------- ---------- è ja de jè de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva, majavi an de bugui an de buididipi, aserejè ja de jè de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva, majavi an de bugui an de buididipi many think its brujeria, how he comes and disappears, every move will hypnotize you, some will call it chuleria, others say that its the real, rastafari afrogitano he's the man alli en la disco, playing sexy felling hotter, he's the king bailando et ritmo ragatanga, and the dj that he knows well, on the spot always around twelve, plays the mix that diego mezcla con la salsa, y la baila and he dances y la canta ------------------------------------ Bila kita lihat maka lagu ini, menceritakan seseorang yang sangat tampan rupawan mempesona dan menghipnotis siapa saja, yang bernama Diego. Dari informasi mantan penganut gereja Setan diketahui bahwa Diego adalah 'code name' dari Devil. Khusunya untuk daerah Amerika Selatan dan Spanyol. Dan harus kita ingat, bahwa Lucifer adalah iblis yang rupawan dan ahli musik, termasuk dansa. Perhatikan lirik awalnya tentang sebuah pesta pada Jumat malam (bukan malam Jumat). Ini merupakan hari kramat bagi setan dibarat (Kalau dinegeri kita yang keramat bagi setan itu kamis malam, atau malam jumat). Ingat film Friday the 13th ? Untuk penganut setan malam Jumat adalah malam dimana mereka mengadakan kebaktian dan pesta. Perhatikan kombinasi ras si Diego , yaitu afro-gypsy Rastafarian. Sedangkan Afro atau Afrika terkenal dengan occultnya dan tari-tarian pemujaannya, sehingga mantra santet atau kutuk paling terkenal dan paling hebat datang dari Afrika yaitu Voodoo. Gypsy berbicara tentang peramal dan penyihir. Dan Rasta adalah sebuah mode yang lekat dengan pemberontakan dan Narkoba. Ragatanga tidak memiliki arti apa-apa dalam bahasa Spanyol. Tapi seluruh Eropa tau bahwa Rangatanga adalah sebuah upacara pemanggilan kekuatan setan dari sebuah grup bi’dah yang bernama The Rouge. Perhatikan lirik pada bait keduanya, menceritakan bagaimana Diego dapat datang dan menghilang sesuka hati. Lucifer memang punya prilaku itu dalam kebaktian yang diadakan untuknya. Datang dan pergi tidak ada yang tahu. Kemudian Diego disebut brujeria, penulis coba mencari arti kata brujeria di Internet, dan anda akan terkejut bila anda mengetikan brujeria.com di browser anda. Anda akan melihat gambar kambing, yang merupakan lambang antikris, dan saat anda masuk dalam websitenya anda mungkin akan segera bergidik dan mual melihat kesadisan dalam web itu. Saya rasa tidak perlu lagi dijelaskan apa brujeria itu. Nah sekarang kita sampai pada reff-nya yang heboh itu, aserejè ja de jè de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva, majavi an de bugui an de buididipi, aserejè ja de jè de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva, majavi an de bugui an de buididipi Dalam bahasa Spanyol reff. ini nggak ada artinya, tapi bila dilagukan dengan ritme seperti itu bagi orang Spanyol akan terdengar seperti, "Jadilah sesat, Jehovah itu tidak ada... , (atau bisa berarti; sesat bila mempercayai Jehova) tinggalkan keberadaan/imanmu saat ini.... mereka akan datang kebawah, dan mereka akan memandu kita Kathrine Marshal, yaitu manager dari Institut Paranormal South Hampton mengatakan; Bahwa dalam bahasa suku Assab di bagian barat laut Afrika, asereje mirip dengan dialek mereka dalam sebuah upacara pemanggilan arwah orang yang mati karena kecelakaan. Dan irama upacara pemanggilan arwah itu juga mirip dengan lagu asereje dalam versi perkusi dan tambur. Asereje memang membius dunia, lagu ini bahkan lebih booming daripada lagu pendahulunya yaitu Macarena, bahkan sebuah radio diAmerika (WAMR FM 107.5) mengaku pernah memutar lagu ini hampir seratus kali dalam sehari. Memang mengherankan bila melihat lagu ini akan segera disukai oleh orang yang mendengarkannya, dan mereka tanpa sadar akan menyanyikannya berulang-ulang. Orang yang mendengarnya akan seperti terhipnotis mendengarkan iramanya. Walaupun demikian gerakan penolakan terhadap lagu Asereje semakin meluas.

David Keyes:  A man in his 40's bought a new BMW and was out in the countryside for a nice evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing through what was left of his hair and he decided to open her up. As the needle jumped up to 80 mph, he suddenly saw flashing red and blue lights behind him. "There's no way they can catch a BMW," he thought to himself and opened her up further. The needle hit 90, 100...Then the reality of the situation hit him. "What the hell am I doing?" he thought and pulled over. The cop came up to him, took his license without a word and examined it and the car. "It's been a long day, this is the end of my shift and it's Friday the 13th. I don't feel like more paperwork, so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven't heard before, you can go." The guy thinks for a second and says, "Last week my wife ran off with a cop. I was afraid you were trying to give her back!! the cop told me to have a nice day!! ;)
