Six days ago it was the lucky day 07/07/07 (which was a Saturday), but today (07/13/2007) is a Friday the 13th. Friday the 13th is considered the unluckiest of days, unless you were born on Friday the 13th. If you were born on this day, then Friday the 13th is your lucky day. In mathworld (number theory), 13 is a Lucky Number.
Every year has at least one Friday the 13th. No year has had (or will have) more than three Friday the 13ths. 2007 had two Friday the 13ths--April and July. 2008 has only one Friday the 13th and that occurs in June.
