5 Friday Facts
The use of the Gregorian calendar and its leap year system results in a small statistical anomaly, that the 13th of any month is slightly more likely to fall on a Friday than any of the other six days.
In some cultures, Friday is considered unlucky. This is particularly so in maritime circles; perhaps the most enduring sailing superstition is that it is unlucky to begin a voyage on a Friday.
The weekday Friday is named after the goddess, from the Old English frīgedæg, which is probably equivalent to the Latin dies veneris which is named for the goddess Venus.
In most countries with a five-day work week, Friday is the last workday before the weekend and is, therefore, viewed as a cause for celebration or relief .
In Saudi Arabia and Iran, however, Friday is the last day of the weekend and Saturday is the first workday.

5 Things that Freak Me Out
Lizards - gives me the shimmies just to say it
Scary movies - cannot watch them at all, can't even be in the room when they are on.
Mice - just as bad as lizards. I am definitely a girl when it comes to mice. Hop up on a chair and scream.
Driving in the snow - that didn't bother me until after the blizzard of '93
Public speaking - I can talk to a group as long as I'm sitting down and one of them. But make me stand up and face them and it freaks me out.
