Study: Friday the 13th not actually unlucky

Yep, you read it right-- some dickhead actually spent money to study whether Friday the 13th was actually more unlucky than other days. Sometimes, the stupidity of humans can truly be astounding.

This reminds me of another study I once read about-- American scientists (or whoever thinks up this ridiculous crap) actually spent $10,000 to study the reason prison inmates wanted to escape prison. To think, they could have called up any one of us for like five bucks. Of course prisoners want to escape prison. Why? IT'S FUCKING PRISON!!

"Welcome to my tiny, boring cell that I am held in against my will.... Of course not! Why should I want to escape?" Ah, poor prisoner, speak naught of the lack of things to do, or the tiny space, or the bland food, or even the big guy named "Peaches" who stares at you in the shower... none of those could possibly be reasons for escape.

It really aggravates me when organizations/governments/whomever the fuck decide to piss away large amounts of cash that I could really use in my life to go "study" some stupid shit. I guarantee you that I can piss money away just as efficiently as they can, and yet in the end, I'll have much more to show for it.

Dutch study shows Friday 13th not more unlucky

The above link will take you to the lunacy. Now, consider that the Dutch spent tons of money to figure out that Friday the 13th is actually less accident-prone than the average day. I will arrive at the same conclusion using nothing more than my razor sharp wit and three minutes of my time.

Superstition tells us that Friday the 13th is the most unholy of days, with regards to luck. Therefore, it can be concluded most human beings would be less prone to take action that could result in mishap on Friday the 13th than any other day.

Example:
Let's pretend you're watching BBC News, and you hear that the European Union has unanimously voted on changing over to green energy sources by some arbitrary date. You, being the savvy businessperson you are, do some research and discover that a small company that produces and install solar cells and panels has just gone public. You decide to buy some stock in this little startup and cash in on some of that phat lewt... when suddenly, it hits you!

"Today's Friday the 13th," you say to yourself. Suddenly, this little startup doesn't look so promising. It looks like pestilence, death, famine and despair. You pass on the opportunity.

Time goes by, and you find that the company you passed on has become the dominant supplier of solar energy producing equipment in the EU, and their stock is selling for over 3000% of the buying price you gave up on. Kick yourself for the rest of your days fuckwit, cuz Friday the 13th just owned your sorry ass.

The reason Friday the 13th is luckier than other days? Because humans are scared of everything.
