P.S. Did you read FFX?

Well, your Eden review was quite funny, pretty good but lots of mistakes vis a vis spelling and grammar, but on the whole pretty neat. Although it was a review for Gungrave and Eden, and you didn't have anything to say about Gungrave :-(

Well, firstly I think that this should be here in life, but perhaps the original post should have been a bit longer and more interesting, so here goes something to rectify that:
Friday 13th - Traditionally thought of as an unlucky day, it's strange that so many people still consider it to be unlucky. Perhaps they don't really know why it was thought of as unlucky in the first place...
Back in the past people considered the biblical stories to have a much greater sway on their lives. Of course, people in England were mostly Christian, so it makes sense. Well, considering that Christ was supposed to have died on a Friday (from an English point of view) and that Fridays were a time for abstaining from meat and other foods, Friday was considered a pretty Holy time. Add to this that there happened to be a 13th appostle, Judas, who betrayed Jesus, and the number 13 becomes pretty unlucky. So an unlucky date on a day considered already unlucky should you put a foot wrong is a day you should not step outside!
So, where does that leave us today? Well, many people are certainly not practicing Christians these days, so why be scared of a Christian tradition that has no barring on anyone else? The 'pagan' religions held numbers to be just as important, but their unlucky numbers were different; 3 being considered a powerful number for a shamen. Interestingly, the Spanish consider Tuesday 13th to be the unlucky day.
Makes you wonder how much you should trust superstitions, especially as many more of them had their roots in religion. Walking under a ladder is unlucky because it defies the holy trinity, though many would say that getting paint/water on your head was equally unlucky! As for me, I'm off to walk in front of black cats so that I can step on the cracks in the pavement...

That isn't always true, I agree with you about things like Friday 13th, but what about things that can't or haven't yet been explained by science, yet, are quite obviously in existence. You have to sort out what is a real claim or unexplained goings on from the crap and fakes.

Blokey's right, this should be in shat.
Anything supersticious is clearly the opposite of intelligent.

I read my horoscope today (I'm a Scorpio) and it said something like "Yours is the world of the black cat. You shall be fine today unless you ignore a colleagues advice." Funnily enough I have a pure black cat that just killed a vole 10 minutes ago. As for ignoring my friend’s advice well they haven't given me any anyway.
