Today is Friday the 13th 91裸聊视频� an unlucky day shrouded in superstition and fear or 91裸聊视频� a regular Friday if you ask most people.

The origins of Friday the 13th are still up for debate, many believe its roots started in the middle ages in relation to Jesus91裸聊视频� last supper and crucifixion in which there were 13 individuals present, the night before his death on Good Friday.

Another theory states that it may have started following the 1907 Thomas W. Lawson novel Friday, the Thirteenth. In the novel, a 91裸聊视频渦nscrupulous broker91裸聊视频� takes advantage of superstition to create a Wall Street panic on a Friday the 13th.
