Why is Friday 13 the Day of Chance?

Well folks I know this week there is Friday 13 plus here a post explaining why Friday 13 is the day of chance ....

It seems that this belief comes from two legends of Norse mythology.

According to the first of them, there was, in Valhalla - the heavenly abode of the deities - a feast for 12 guests.

Loki, spirit of evil and discord, appeared without being called and set up a fight in which Balder, the favorite of the gods, died.

It was then superstition that to invite 13 people to dinner was a disgrace indeed, and this number was marked as a symbol of chance.

The second legend is played by the goddess of love and beauty, Friga, whose name gave rise to the words friadagr and friday, "Friday" in Scandinavian and English.

When the Norse tribes converted to Christianity, the character was transformed into a witch exiled high on a mountain.

To get revenge, Friga met every Friday with 11 other sorceresses, plus Satan himself, in a total of 13 participants, to plead for plagues on humanity.

From Scandinavia, superstition spread throughout Europe, reinforced by the biblical account of the Last Supper when there were 13 people at the table on the eve of Christ's crucifixion - which happened on a Friday.

In the (Jewish) Old Testament, inclusive, Friday was already a troublesome day since the earliest humans. Eve would have offered the apple to Adam on a Friday and the great flood would have begun the same day of the week.

The Big Bang Theory - Sheldon's Phrases

One really needs to be smart to understand the jokes cracked in The Big Bang Theory. If not smart, at least have an interest in the geeky world outside. Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, Howard, and Penny represent a perfect example of four geeks and one blonde. The Big Bang Theory focuses on five different characters living in Pasadena, California, and longtime fans will tell you that when it comes to comic relief, there is no funnier than Sheldon Cooper. Without any doubt, Dr. Sheldon Cooper is the show stopper, stealer, and the star of The Big Bang Theory. It’s like he has evolved 100 years ahead but has returned in a time machine that is now stuck in the 21st century. Sheldon is a theoretical physicist with an ingenious IQ, but almost a total lack of social skills. The inability of HIs to show humility or empathy toward the other characters on the show has been a long gag during all 9 seasons. Sheldon's unique personality has given us some truly hilarious lines over the years and it&

What does Bazinga mean

In The Big Bang Theory, Leonard tries to have Sheldon pay attention to him, but it's too late. Sheldon submerges in the pool of colored balls and disappears from his sight. Tired of being ignored, Leonard decides to enter to force him out, but is unable to catch him. Each time he believes he knows where he is, Sheldon appears on the opposite side. His head appears, surrounded by colored balls, and with a smiley face he exclaims: - Bazinga! And dive back in. The expression "bazinga" comes from a video game called: Bubble Bazinga In which, when the player gets more than ten thousand points with a single shot, they blow the trumpets and a voice shouts: Bazinga! The video game is not very well known - because it is a clone of another much more popular, the: Puzzle Bobble But it is possible that Sheldon played and memorized the word. The term originates from the expression: Zing! That is used, in a joking context, to make it clear that we are making fun of

The two big questions we should ask ourselves when we have a new project

It is said that the difference between dream and goal is to set a date for its realization, but Ronaldo Burla - a great friend with whom I learned many things - went a little further in the materialization of dreams. More than motivation and focus, he developed two questions that define and plan their execution when they are answered: If not now, when? If it's not you, who will it be? I hope they can help you in the same way that you have helped me. Thank you Ronaldo.

What is your legacy?

Today I was scared when I went to make an Internet purchase with a new credit card I had just received. When the site asked me to provide the expiration date of the card, I discovered that the card has a validity greater than mine! That reminded me the other day, when an 86-year-old lady told me that she had found an "old lady" in the church ... I had to interrupt her by asking: "- Please, let me define 'old lady.'" "- Oh, she must be about 90 years old," – she replied. After all, what is life? Guimarães Rosa, physician and Brazilian writer, in his book "Grande Sertão Veredas" wrote: "Living is very dangerous." Living is indeed dangerous. But what about birth, then? Have you ever imagined how difficult it is to be born? It is so difficult that nature is wise, hiding in memory the moment of birth and the first months of life. It is so shocking to get out of the womb that it is "erased" from our memory so we do not

What prevents most people from leading the life of their dreams

The answer is simple ... money But we need to redefine our attitude toward money. Instead of letting it dictate each of our actions, we must see it as a resource that serves as support for all areas of our lives. We all have dreams and a certain idea of how we want to live life. Basically, we want to believe that we have a special role to play that will make the world a better place. But unfortunately, routine and "real life" often prevent us from turning our dreams into reality, making us forget a little more each day that WE DESERVE to live that dream. Gradually, we succumb to the belief that we can not break free from our current situation and begin to make concessions ... Our image of how we want to live our life, sooner or later, begins to fade, and before we know it, life is over ... Learn to see money from different perspectives. For, while it may keep us from harnessing our potential to the fullest, it also helps us to become the best we can be!
