Happy Friday the 13th

It was almost 700 years ago, on Friday, October 13th, 1307, that King Philip IV of France ordered his royal officers to arrest every member of the Knights Templar. Henceforth, whenever the 6th day of the week (Friday) was also the 13th day of the month, it has been considered a very bad omen.

Of course, I have my own tradition for Fridays the 13th. I run out and buy a lottery ticket.

I've always had reasonably good luck on this occasion, just not good enough to win the lottery - or at least not to date since today's drawing hasn't happen.
