StrawberryFields Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 <div class='quotemain'>Today is Friday the 13th. So what? I don't give it a second thought but on MSN today it covered fears of people especially on this day. I'm curious what everyone's fears, big and small, if any, are.I don't give it a second thought unless there is something of real importance going on for me personally like tax preparation at 11 am today....eeekkk Well I guess we faired pretty good for it being Friday the 13th. They only wanted both arms, left our legs alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palerider Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 How do they justify that Palerider? Have they experienced some coincidental occurrence and then generalize it every Friday the 13th? ===Wow Aphrodite. LOL-none were on Fri. 13th Lets blame global warming.I don't believe they did have anything bad happen.....they were just concerned that something would....

Dr T Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 I fear that something bad might happen to me in the next month. I guess I better take four weeks off of work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jikei Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Perhaps it's not this Friday the 13th you need to worry about Friday, April 13, 2029 an asteroid (MN104 I think is the name) will come closer to the Earth then anything in over a thousand years. It'll come closer to us then our moon...closer then many of the satelites that orbit the Earth. For a while it was thought that the asteroid would hit us. We now know that it wont, however it is unsure how the Earths gravity will effect the asteroid. Depending on how our gravity effects the asteroid will determine if (when) the asteroid comes back around. One of the computer models set up shows that the gravity could be such that the asteroid will swing back around a second time. This second time the results are much less sure. When did the ocmputer think that second time could be? Friday, April 13th, 2035. Yes, I'm a science geek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi Jikei, I'm familiar with that asteroid. I read about destroying it and the amount of projected particles and sizes they might be and the potential impact on the Earth on the second approach that you referenced. That is interesting stuff. I didn't remember it being on Friday the 13th. We'll have to see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushka Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 That's interesting Push. Thank you for that link. The power of superstition amazes me. I've been to hotels that "do not have" a 13th story. The elevator goes, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, etc. Push, do people stay away from your black cat? About three years ago, someone at work came to me and told me, "I saw, three black cats in a row, cross my path recently." She was so sure it meant something really bad was going to happen to her. I thought, "Better go look for four white cats to counter the negative ramifications for those three" Hi Doc..pleased to hear you liked the link. People who know Pushka well are very careful when approaching her, she can be pretty mean! She lets you stroke her for a few seconds, then she attacks you and yells out, lol. On the other hand, when she's in the mood she'll sit on your lap or beside you on the bed for hours, and she recently followed me and my daughter on a walk in the nearby countryside...that was cool, I took some photos of her looking really scared when she saw a dog in the distance..lol. She's actually got quite a lot of ginger mixed with her black fur, so she's not technically a black cat at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Oh, so you use the name of your cat as your screen name. I did not know that. Would you rather I call you Pushka as opposed to Push? Just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushka Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 It's all right, I think Push sounds cute...I often call Pushka 'Push, push'! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
