Does Friday the 13th freak you out as much as it
does me? I try to stay indoors as much as I can and be extra cautious in my
endeavors throughout the day. Life is crazy, that's for sure and reading and
watching the content below will definitely back up this conclusion.
Zero F*cks were given
this Friday the 13th.
First, I'd like to let you know that this year, 2012, marks
three Friday the 13ths: January 13, April 13, and July 13th.What's
even freakier is that they all fall exactly 13 weeks from each other! Catch
your jaw.
If you are petrified of Friday the 13ths you might have paraskavedekatriaphobia
aka friggatriskaidekaphobia. You may also have Triskaidekaphobia; the smart
people term for the fear of the number 13.
Hudson Horizons has had its own share of spooky Friday the 13ths. Last Friday April the 13th,
2012, Adam Smith,
Content/Internet Marketing Strategist, recalls walking up the steps to work and
came across a dollar bill and has kept in his wallet ever since. Now this
morning he found another dollar bill in jeans he hasn't worn in "forever."
Smith stated "It was sooooooo spooky that it had to be nothing but aliens
giving me good luck on such a scary day." -Sketchy, that's for sure.
Also, at exactly 12:17 pm this Friday July 13, 2012 the
lights flickered and Chris Keenan, SEO Specialist for Hudson Horizons, was
eating his lunch when his desktop computer completely shut off on its own.
Thirteen has been given an evil undertone just because it's
always been the odd number out. It doesn't coincide with the 12 months of the
year, the 12 zodiac signs, the 12 gods of Olympus, the 12 labors of Hercules, the
12 tribes of Israel, and the 12 apostles of Jesus. Also, the 13th guest of the Last
Supper betrayed Jesus so 13 is the bad
guy!
On Friday the 13th in August 2010, a boy
was struck by lightning at 13:13 pm (1:13 pm). What's creepier is that two
others were struck within 20 minutes in the same areas. Thankfully, the boy
wasn't hurt too badly or struck 13 times. And then this guy made this weird
YouTube video about.
Enough of super freaky things for a second; here's a parody
on Rebecca
Black's infamous "Friday" video.
A great Infographic dedicated to Friday the 13th detailing freaky facts about said day throughout the years. #RIPTupac.
Lastly, I'd like to share with you quite possibly the
scariest, creepiest YouTube video I've
ever seen. This video doesn't have much to do with Friday the 13th oddities but it's still scary. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Enjoy the
weekend and be safe out there!
