Well, as the calendar clearly states, it's Friday the 13th. The second one this year, in fact.

The last Friday the 13th was in September. The next will be in June. It is the only Friday the 13th in 2014. There will be three in 2015, though.

Of course, most people aren't genuinely superstitious about such things. Right?

It's noteworthy that according to many sources, the true origination of the superstition surrounding Friday the 13th is undetermined.

Wikipedia says that literature gave birth to the notion in 1869 when Henry Sutherland Edwards' biography of Gioachino Rossini noted that he died on a Friday 13th.

UrbanLegends.com has a story about an interesting study that says that less people drive on Friday the 13th but more end up in the hospital due to accidents.

And International Business Times offers 13 freaky facts about Friday the 13th.
