Well, I was born on Friday the 13th. I was probably born sometime between 1:00 and 1:30 PM, but the doctor clearly had a killer sense of humor, as my time of birth is stated at 1:13PM, which on a 24-hour clock is, well, you know.

Thirteen is my lucky number.

I was going to take Friday off, but was offered a round trip to Toronto, so I took it. Got to the consignee at 4:15 after all the traffic, and no one was there. Found out everyone left at 3! A guy who owns a cartage company in the same building was nice enough to offload my truck. However, I'm DHing back to MI with nothing to show for it.

It's not Friday the 13th, it's this darn truck that's bad luck!

Boy, 13, hit by lightning on Friday 13th at 13:13 - World news

'It's all a bit strange,' ambulance team leader tells newspaper
msnbc.com
A 13-year-old boy was struck by lightning — at 13:13 hours on Friday the 13th, according to reports.

The teen was watching an air show at Lowestoft, England, when he was struck and was later treated for burns to his shoulder, the U.K.'s Mirror newspaper said. He is expected to fully recover.

Rex Clarke, leader of the St. John Ambulance team that treated the child, described what happened.

"Suddenly there was this huge crack of lightning really close to the seafront and really loud thunder," he told the Mirror. "Seconds later we got a call someone had been hit. The boy was breathing and was conscious."

"He had a minor burn to his shoulder and was taken to hospital as a precaution. It could have been a lot worse," he said, adding: "It's all a bit strange that he was 13, and it happened at 13:13 on Friday the 13th."

Two other spectators, who were standing near the boy when he was hit, were treated for minor injuries, the Mirror said.

"We were just watching the Red Arrows [air display team] go past and there was a flash of lightning," one of the wounded, Jordan Gissing, 16, told the Mirror. "I couldn't speak. I was in shock."
