Friday the 13th Explained? Well, maybe
One of the most commonly held superstitions in our presumably civilized, educated society is that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day.

A few subtle ways to become a good American (and a good human being)
Being a good American and a good human being isn't about waving a flag, hating Democrats or republicans, Muslims, or people who say ugly words about political leaders.
