Yes.. one pan tang.

 

Never conduct any missile/rocket test on friday the 13th. Otherwise, it will end up in a spectacular failure

Yep a matter of east vs west in terms of beliefs.

 

e.g. think bat is evil to them (based on horror movies):

But some Chinese think bats are good:

because 蝠 (bat) rhymes with 福 (fortune)

Got this from Yahoo! These are just some of the things you might want to avoid!

 

1. Pass a funeral procession

Some believe that if you do, you might end up with some form of misfortune the next day.

 

2. Give birth

The child might come across bad luck for the rest of his/her life.

 

3. Change the bedsheets

You risk having bad dreams.

 

4. Cut your hair

You might end up "snipping" the life of a family member.

 

5. Cut your nails

You might experience more bad luck for the rest of the year.

 

6. Start a new job or open a business

Naysayers could tell you that it will eventually collapse or become bankrupt. Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s.

 

7. Begin a trip

Problems might crop up. The most famous example of unlucky 13 is the Apollo 13 mission. It was launched at 13.13 hours and was aborted on April 13.

 

8. Embark on a sailing trip

Like the one about travelling, ships should think twice before leaving the harbour this day.

 

9. Consult a fortune teller

You might not like the news you hear. Also, going to see an astrologer on a "13" day goes against the principles of astrology. Think about it: There are just 12 zodiac signs and 12 months in a year.

 

10. Leave your calendar on the day marked Friday the 13th

You might end up with tons of bad luck. According to legend, the Norse goddess Frey (Friday) came down to Earth and gave a coven of witches her cat. Covens usually gather in groups of 12, but the addition of Frey's cat made the coven 13. Some believe that the 13th coven member was actually the devil!

 

The part about getting hair cut on Fri 13 is something new to me;

 

I grew up with the belief that having one's hair cut on the first & fifteen day of lunar mth

Will shorten one's parents' lives!

Hence, we still folow this belief after we got own families.
