Unfortunitely I already recorded the original text the way it is and that is why I posted it so people could enjoy my spoken word piece so I'm not really planning on changing it.

But it is kind of fun just talking about it.

How about merging 1 and 2 to be "Because it's not a Monday, which makes being a Friday even better!"

But then if I add another reason I will have more than 13 and I'm not sure that would sound as clever as having 13 reasons.

So if I added yours which one would you replace it with ?
--- Dang
Speaking of Isa, here Isa reason: Every year has at least one Friday 13th, and some have as many as three!

I wasn't saying you, specifically, were stoopid. I just mean it's stoopid for people to be superstitious. I wasn't even replying to your post about a holiday. It's just something that sticks in my craw. All that good/bad/ luck and fate and black cats and walking under a ladder and all that. Stoopid.

I agree the Bible does say we shouldn't be superstitious but I wrote the thing as a joke.

The joke is our government would I feel waste more time on a national holiday that is not needed then what is really important national health care or world peace.

I think most people that come here to the Mad Music archive wouldn't take me serious about making Friday the Thirteenth a National Holiday.

I don't really worry about Friday the 13th to be honest and that is why I wrote the thing.

Do you think it is funny ?

Actaully I am a Christain but I don't think I'm saying it's unlucky.

Does Isa 65:11 prove Christians say Friday the 13th is unlucky ?

Isa 65:11&12 reads:

“But YOU men are those leaving Jehovah, those forgetting my holy mountain, those setting in order a table for the god of Good Luck and those filling up mixed wine for the god of Destiny. And I will destine YOU men to the sword, and YOU will all of YOU bow down to being slaughtered; for the reason that I called, but YOU did not answer; I spoke, but YOU did not listen; and YOU kept doing what was bad in my eyes, and the thing in which I took no delight YOU chose.”

So the Bible condemns the god of Good Luck and the god of Destiny.

Of course, the 13 count baker's dozen was, at the time it was conceived, considered lucky for the bakers.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker's_dozen


--- artpaul
I do have a 13th reason see:

And the 13th and finale reason is:Because I couldn't think of anything thing else to write but Baker's Dozen

My 13th reason is Baker's Dozen.

Have 13 donuts.

Hey congratulations on staying married so long !

--- Marcus Tee
Peole are stoopid! There is not one logical reason to believe that 13 is unlucky or that Friday the 13th should be considered unlucky. And these are mostly so called Christians? Who believe the Bible? Read Isa 65:11

My wife and I have been married for 33 years. Still together, four kids, six grandkids and 1 great grandkid. And we were married on April 13 (a Friday).

It's been estimated that $800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day because people will not fly or do business they would normally do.

It's a floating National Holiday !

It happens whenever there is a Friday the Thirteenth

Mildred Filmore ?

I do recall a Millard Fillmore who was never elected to to office but took over when Zachary Taylor died in office.

The following months have a Friday the 13th:
2000 October
2001, 2007, 2018 April, July
2002, 2013, 2019, 2024 September, December
2003, 2008, 2014, 2025 June
2004 February, August
2005, 2011, 2016, 2022 May
2006, 2017, 2023 January, October
2009, 2015, 2026 February, March, November
2010, 2021, 2027 August
2012 January, April, July
2020 March, November

This sequence, here given for 2000-2027, repeats every 28 years from 1901 to 2099. The months with a Friday the 13th are determined by the Dominical letter of the year. All months whose first day falls on a Sunday will contain a Friday the 13th.

So what month should the holiday be in?

1.Because it's on a Friday
2.Because it's not on a Monday
3.To have a 3 day weekend
4.There's not enough national holidays
5.Look at all the great people that were born on Friday the thirteeth(Not that I can think of anybody,can you think of anybody ?)
6.So people can go to Ho Chunk and bet all their money away
7.It's better than a poke in the eye
8.To commerate our thirteeth president Mildred Filmore,don't you remember what he did for our country ?
9.To give people another day to put their flags up
10.Actaully did you know the number 13 is patriotic ? There are 13 stripes on the flag representing the first 13 states
11.With all the other laws and legislater nowadays why not ?
12.So that hotels that have the number 13 will do better business and hotels without the number 13 will be laugh at
And the 13th and finale reason is:Because I couldn't think of anything thing else to write but Baker's Dozen
