Poll: It's Friday the 13th. Do you care?

Do you pay any attention to the superstition?

IT’S FRIDAY the 13th.

Unless you had planned to board a flight, take a ferry or spend the day walking under ladders, it’s unlikely you took a blind bit of notice of the date — and even then, perhaps gave it no more than a passing thought.

Friday the 13th, however, has long been considered the unluckiest day of the calendar in the Western world – even though there’s nothing to suggest that the date is particularly dangerous.

This morning we’re asking: Do you pay any attention to the superstition?


Poll Results:

No, not at all. (9275)
