A reminder

Today is Friday the 13th. Avoid juggling black cats.  And picking on witches.

Trivia

*The ancient Chinese regarded the number 13 as lucky.  Until the lot of them were devoured by locusts and pandas.  The newer, more prudent Chinese, I’m told, routinely cane the thirteenth person entering a room to within an inch of his or her life.

*Some sources say the number 13 was intentionally vilified by the patriarchs because of its association with femininity in goddess-worshiping cultures.  Other sources say a bitter Radcliff chick made the whole story up in the early 1960s after being dumped by her Harvard beau for some libertine Irish townie with a nearly perfect ass.

    So that would be a nearly perfect ass by early sixties standards? Which these days may not even be considered a decent ass, much less nearly perfect. I wonder what makes her more bitter these days? the rejection or the irony?
