I had _so_ much garlic for lunch, my breath is driving _me_ insane. Must find gum.

It's Friday. The 13th. I feel like I should be doing something interesting because of this fact. (Well, besides wishing [livejournal.com profile] australian_joe a happy birthday as a combination of the fact that it's already Saturday there, and the fact that he was actually - barely - born on Friday the 13th)

Am contemplating being slightly more social soon. We shall see.

FYI Friday the 13th is considered important (and unlucky) merely because some monks decided back in the middle ages the Christ died on a Frtiday the 13th. So it is essentially a Christian holiday. If you call this a holiday.

*blink* What? Really?

Huh!

Completely didn't know that. Fascinating!

I had not heard this before either. I found a National Geographic article (http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/02/0212_040212_friday13.html) online that discusses the history of Friday the 13th. What [livejournal.com profile] draqontdc said has some basis but is not exactly it.
