And the recent Tuesday the 13th was in October 2015. Oh, esos hispanos pobres de male suerte. Why was Leslie Davis even in that tree for about ⅓ of a year? As for mosquitos, how much calamine lotion would you need for those itchy bites?

Friday the 13th is considered unlucky because it was Friday, October 13, 1307 when Jacques DeMolay and the rest of the Templars were kidnapped by the Pope. Spain, with its love affair with the Inquisition, considers that crime a happy day.
