Friday the 13th: Again?

Friday marks the third Friday the 13th of 2012.

Look out for the black cat and the ladder in your path.

It's Friday the 13th.

July 13, 2012 happens to fall on a Friday. That's not rare this year.

The 13th day of January and April fell on Friday this year. According to USA Today, that's the first time since 1984 that a trio of Friday the 13ths have fallen in such a small window.

But another 13 Fridays will pass before we get another Friday the 13th. Got that?

We'll have to wait until September 2013 for the next occurrence. December 2013 will offer another. So will June 2014.

OK, I'll stop scanning the calendar in my iPhone now.

Check out this series of  that I found on Southington (CT) Patch this morning.

I'm curious: Do you try to avoid anything when the No. 13 in your calendar falls on a Friday? Do you have other superstitions?

TELL US: Has Friday the 13th gotten old hat? Leave a comment.

Ditto @lilkunta. I'm normally a fan of Friday the 13th (one of my best days as a human being occurred on friday the 13th), but today seems eerily prone to bad luck!

In 1996, I decided to put an end to all possibilities of Friday the 13th being bad, and I took my driver's license road test on Dec. 13 that year - a Friday. I passed the test, and have never had to fear Friday the 13th again.

I think to celebrate the day, I'll step outside and pet my neighbors four black cats.

Neighbors' should have an apostrophe right? And I'm the brilliant editor who posted the error on my own site—another victim in the vicious wake of the 13th.
