It's Friday the 13th. You know what that means?

Yep. It's all about the Knights Templar.

Isn't it ALWAYS about the Knights Templar? I mean, what kind of party would it be without them?

In October 1307, Friday 13th - hence the superstition surrounding the date and the phrase 'Unlucky for some' - Philip IV had every French templar knight that he could arrested. He brought against them charges of denying Christ, sodomy, and worshipping an idol called Baphomet. Through torture he obtained confessions but many knights chose to die rather than lie and impune their order. These confessions he presented to Clement V who issued a bull ordering the templar knights be arrested in every country and their property seized.

The Knights Templar

Of course, Snopes says that the Templar story was one made up in modern times, so take that for what you will.

You want we should get superstitious about you? :)

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

Yeah. They really know how to get down.

Why not. :) I think I will start a cult, The Cult of Ryan the Friday of the 13th. :)
