Paraskevidekatriaphobics, beware! Today is Friday the 13th. Stay off of the thirteenth floor, avoid breaking mirrors, stay away from black cats. Pull the blankets over your head and spend the day in bed, if you feel totally unlucky and vulnerable.
Blame Someone Else Day, celebrated on the first Friday the 13th of the year, is a golden opportunity! Whatever's going on in your life, especially those nagging little issues that might be your fault, blame those things on someone else. Poof! You're innocent.
September 13th is Defy Superstition Day. But wait.... we already know today is Friday the 13th! Will you defy or hide?
Just for today, despite the fact that it's a superstitious sort of day, try to keep your thoughts positive, no matter what goes on around you (unless something truly tragic happens). Think you can do it? I know you can, because today is Positive Thinking Day. Here's a dose of Stuart Smalley for inspiration:
Programmers' Day is observed on the 256th day of the year - usually September 13th, but September 12th in leap years. As programmers know, 256 represents the number of distinct values that can be expressed with an 8-bit byte.
