Cubs outlast Nationals in wild Game 5, set to face Dodgers in NLCS
Addison Russell drove in four runs, Wade Davis earned a seven-out save, and the Chicago Cubs reached their third NL Championship Series in a row by edging the Washington Nationals 9-8 in a thriller of a Game 5.
Today is...
According to folklorists, the combination of Friday and the number 13 as a day of particularly bad luck seems to be a relatively recent tradition - perhaps only about 100 years old.
One of the most popularised myths attempting to explain the origin of the Friday 13 superstition stems from events on Friday 13 October 1307, when hundreds of Knights Templar were arrested and burnt across France.

Good Morning Every1
Good morning my Q friends. Happy Friday.
Happy Friday the 13th fellow Canucks!
I was born on the 13th, so it is a good day for me. Of course it would be a much better day if it was 5:00 so I don't have to toil away in my cage here at work.
Have an awesome day folks.
One hundred years ago, the British government sought to quell the longstanding superstition among seamen that setting sail on Fridays was unlucky. A special ship was commissioned and given the name "H.M.S. Friday." They laid her keel on a Friday, launched her on a Friday, selected her crew on a Friday, and hired a man named Jim Friday to be her captain. Finally, it was on a Friday that H.M.S. Friday embarked on her maiden voyage — and was never seen or heard from again.
Interesting story Rocky. Isn't that the ship that landed on a desert island and the captain called the native "Friday"?Quote:
