And that is because when a month begins on a Sunday, then you can expect the 13th to fall on a Friday. This has already happened this year (3 times) for the months of February and March, and now November. You won't see it happen 3 times again till the year 2012.  Also, according to folklorists,

Every Tuesday, Vicki with The Artisan Beaders team, posts very useful tips regarding jewelry making, and this week, she has given us an excellent tip for taking the "wobble" out of large hole beads. Lampwork beads often have larger holes, and when you slide them onto a headpin, they wobble to and fro, and it can drive you nuts as to what to do about it. Well...the solution is something so simple
