http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CFuCYNx-1g Like many human beliefs, the fear of Friday the 13th (known as paraskevidekatriaphobia) isn't exactly grounded in scientific logic. But the really strange thing is that most of the people who believe the day is unlucky offer no explanation at all, logical or illogical. As with most superstitions, people fear Friday the 13th for its own sake, without any need for background information.

The superstition does have deep, compelling roots, however, and the origins help explain why the belief is so widespread today. In this article, we'll look at some of the interesting stories behind this unluckiest of days. (BE CAREFUL OUT THERE BLUEBIRDS) :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :lol:

As a matter of interest, have Cardiff had many football matches on Friday 13th and if so, what were the scores?

Yes, one I can recall was Friday 13th August 2004. The day my youngest son was born. He was born in the morning but had to stay in hospital till 10pm.
I was gutted I missed our live game v Plymouth but the wife giving birth took priority.

We lost 1-0 :(

Its when the wife says now "ah do u remember when Daniel was born?"
"Yeah I remember it well dear, we lost to Plymouth" :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
