In the meantime, here are some facts about this 'unlucky' day from Time Magazine.

• "The first specific written reference to Friday the 13th as an unlucky day was in an early-20th century novel by Thomas W. Lawson, called Friday, the 13th. Ironically, a ship named after Lawson was caught in a storm and shipwrecked on the night of Friday the 13th, 1907.
• Superstition can result in an economic dip. Donald Dossey, founder of the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute, says U.S. businesses lose millions of dollars on Friday the 13th, because some people are reluctant to leave their homes.
• There are two tough-to-pronounce names for the fear of Friday the 13th: “paraskevidekatriaphobia,” and “friggatriskaidekaphobia.”
• Twenty-five percent of Americans said they were “very” or “somewhat” superstitious in a 1996 Gallup poll, and 9% said they were wary of the number 13. Interestingly, young people were more likely to be superstitious than older people."
