Friday the 13th, SO WHAT?

Being Filipino-Chinese we have a lot of superstitions and what not.

What to do after a bad bad bad bad bad dream. Example Bad Dream: Your tooth falls off in the dream and there is blood. When you wake up. DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE UNTIL YOU DO THIS. Go to the washroom get some water gargle it and spit it out and say 'let the bad luck wash away' or something to that effect. Eat misua with egg for maximum bad juju elimantion effect.

So what's up with this Friday the 13th stuff? I mean we've all heard about it before as being an unlucky day, but has anything unfortunate ever befallen you when Fridays meet with the number 13? As far back as I can remember Friday the 13th's just come and go with no ill effects. So as a any bored person would do I googled for 'Friday the 13th' and click on the Wikipedia link. HERE IT IS FOR THOSE INTERESTED
