I don't believe in Friday the 13th as bad luck for one reason. My brother was born August 13 and my mom recalls him being born on a Friday. He's the most independent of us siblings. He's a good cook, knows how to handle money well, and knows both piano and guitar to keep you amused eventhough he had little time to learn and practice. He might be tight on his purse strings but at least he never really runs out of it and ask for help. Some people would say that due to his day of birth he'd be a cause of bad luck or his life may turn out bad but the opposite is true!
