Well don't let any black cats walk in front of you, stroll under any ladders and for heaven's sake be careful with that mirror!
Today is the day many fear, Friday the 13th! Now I am not one prone to triskaidekaphobia, or an irrational fear of the number 13. However it is good to remember one significant event which happened on this day.
On Friday the 13th, 1307 King Phillip IV of France, in league with Pope Clement V betrayed the Knights Templar. King Phillip had issued orders to arrest every Knight of the order on October 13th. Between the two conspirators they rounded up every knight they could find, put them in prisons and tortured confessions from them. The Grand Master of the order was also arrested, Jaques de Molay, and executed. Most believe the true reason behind the conspiracy between King and Pope was to lay their hands on the money in the Templar's coffers.
