Friday the 13th
Did You Know
Random Joke of the Day
That's Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing
Funny Fobia
Finish with a Song

Hockey masks and machete
knifes
Serial killer hacking
lives

Darkened rooms sudden
shocks
Scares me out of my fluffy
socks

Crescendo music reaches
its peak
A door slams a window
creaks

The killer kills his body
count
The teenagers die and numbers
mount

I only have one question to
ask
as he wears his plastic
mask

How come the victims
are always stunning ?
And always rubbish
at forest running

I think that they may deserve
their end
Cos after all it's just
Pretend

Friday the 13th Can Come in Threes

It's an Unlucky Day Only For Some

Friday the 13th is not universally seen as a day of misery. For example, in Italy, Friday the 17th and not Friday the 13th is considered to be a day that brings bad luck. In fact, the number 13 is thought to be a lucky number!

In many Spanish speaking countries and in Greece, Tuesday the 13th is seen as a day of misfortune.

The Day Inspired One of the Highest Grossing Film Series

The commercially successful Friday the 13th enterprise includes 12 horror movies, a television series, and several books that focus on curses and superstitions. Even though the films and the television series consistently received negative reviews from critics, they have a huge following. The mask worn by the key character in the films, Jason Voorhees, is one of the most known images in popular culture.

Random Joke of the Day

I went to the best ever burger van today. It was so good, it had 4 Michelin tyres.
