Yeah. Tomorrow, as we all know, is Friday the 13th.
Supposedly the baddest day of a year.
But I wonder....What makes it so bad? Why is it teh Devil's Day?
And why is everyone "cursed with bad luck" on that particular day?
But i really wanna know- My B-day is tomorrow (17 years old).
What will happen to me? Prince of Nightmares?
Baddest-lucked person? what?

Actually wait it is based on a true story, correct?

I swear to God they said it was real. And OP the true answer to your question would be (Probably) "Friday the 13th is an uncommon date that happens once or twice a year." It is also the day the movie "Friday the 13th" was released. Or for other reasons that may not be known, check Wikipedia.

bloody mary, bloody mary, and bloody mary. Another stupid little story.
Bloody mary was a title given to an english queen(perhaps the same one) who murdered over 1m people of a certain religious background.
perhaps this may be the same woman.
also,
through out time, the number 13 has been considered bad luck, and so has the day friday.
Now lets take this to a more modern view.
Simple explanation for all the "bad luck": Self fulfilling prophecies.
What is a Self fulfilling prophecies?
-You think something is going to happen, and it happens or you think it happened....
(doesnt work with everything as there are some things that your mind cant change)
But lets look at what it can change:
Medicine:
-Self fulfilling prophecies is what is behind placebos. Placebos are fake medicines. However, they work. Why? Because people are expecting a medicine that works, so their mind sort of "forces" the body to heal itself, because it thinks the medicine is working.
"Luck":
People tend to look at good or bad things only on certain days.
Example; you wake up and hit your toe on the edge of a cabinet. You get late to work. the rest of the day goes by normally. however, because you think you had so much bad luck at the start of the day, you start to see everything bad in your day.... thus your Self fulfilling prophecy is that you will have a bad day, and therefore you will ignore the good things and only care about the bad.
Friday the 13th has been regarded as an unlucky day so much that people would normally have Self fulfilling prophecies.....(if they actually believed it)
they would only see the bad, the bad, and the bad.... even though friday 13th would be just like any other friday.
Also, there are idiots who took advantage of this and began to make scary movies. this adds on to the whole supersticious crap revolving the day, and even more Self fulfilling prophecies are created among the general public....

TL;DR: Its all in your head

TL;DR: Its all in your head |
It WAS her... She killed a whole shit load (LOTS)!!!!
Here:
| Code: | Queen Mary I of England was born February 18, 1516, the daughter of King Henry VIII and his first of six wives, Catherine of Aragon. Mary was the only child from that union to survive infancy. She reigned as Queen of England from July 19, 1553 until her death on November 17, 1558.
The Early Years of Queen Mary I
Queen Mary I was alienated from her father, King Henry VIII, during his divorce (it was not a divorce in the modern sense, but an annulment) from her mother. As her parents' marriage was deemed null and void, Mary was then deemed illegitimate and thus deprived for a time of her status as an heir to the throne. This fueled her rage regarding her father’s break from the Roman Catholic Church, which had previously instructed him that he could not divorce from her mother. Mary felt that if her father, King Henry VIII, had obeyed the Roman Catholic Church, she would not be seen as “illegitimate, and her right to the throne would not have been questioned. This is the foundation upon which her loyalty to Rome was laid. By the time of King Henry VIII’s death, however, she had been restored as second in line to the throne, after her half-brother Edward, who was physically weak.
Queen Mary I Takes the Throne of England
It was not until 1553 that Edward died, however, by which time Protestantism had gained such ground that a rival claimant to the throne was put forward, Mary's cousin Lady Jane Grey. Public sympathy remained with Mary, and she soon overcame resistance to her accession. By July 19 Jane Grey had been deposed and Mary was the undisputed Queen. Her official coronation came on November 30, 1553 . Mary first began to earn her unofficial title of “Bloody Mary” when she had her cousin, Lady Jane Grey, executed to prevent any possible power struggle. It is generally believed that Mary might have spared Jane's life if it had not been for the intervention of the Spanish diplomats who conditioned Mary's marriage to their king on her executing Jane.
“Bloody Mary”… Relentless Papist and Mass-Murderer
Mary had always rejected and resented the break with Rome that her father had instituted and his subsequent establishment of the Anglican Church that had flowed from her half-brother's protestantism, and now she tried to turn England back to Roman Catholicism. This effort was carried out by force, and hundreds of Protestant leaders were executed. The first was John Rogers (a.k.a. “Thomas Matthews”), the printer of the “Matthews-Tyndale Bible”. His execution was followed by the execution of former Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, who was primarily responsible for the printing of the “Great Bible”. Hundreds more would follow in Mary’s bloody reign of terror. This earned the queen the title of “Bloody Mary”.
Her restoration of Catholicism was remarkable in some ways: Where only one bishop, John Fisher of Rochester, had resisted King Henry VIII’s rejection of Roman catholicism to the point that Henry had him executed; most of Mary's bishops were more loyal and refused to conform to the restored Protestantism under Elizabeth I, and they died under house arrest.
Mary’s Failure and Death
Mary's allegiance to Roman Catholicism inspired her to institute social reforms, but these were largely unsuccessful. Her marriage to Philip II of Spain, in 1554, was unpopular even with her Catholic subjects. Philip spent very little time with Mary, once he realized that she was not able to bear a child. Mary died at the age of 42 from uterine or ovarian cancer. She was succeeded by her half-sister Elizabeth I, who quickly undid many of Mary's changes, and returned England to its former Protestant-friendly environment. This enabled the English refugees who had fled England to ever-neutral Geneva, Switzerland to print the “Geneva Bible”, to eventually come home and begin printing the Protestant Geneva Bible in England.
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary…
Mary I of England is often confused with her cousin “Mary, Queen of Scots”, who lived at the same time. Many scholars trace the nursery rhyme "Mary, Mary, quite contrary… how does your garden grow… with silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row" to Mary’s unpopular attempts to bring Roman Catholicism back to England, identifying the "cockle shells", for example, with the symbol of pilgrimage to the Catholic Shrine of St. James in Spain and the "pretty maids all in a row" with Catholic nuns. |
