A Word Of Warning

Now, I don't want to worry anyone, but people may not have realised that today is Wednesday the 13th!!!!!!!

While not as famous as it's younger brother Friday the 13th, Wednesday the 13th holds a special place of dread in the Unlucky Days Pantheon. Did you know that*...

...more beer is unwittingly spilt on Wednesday the 13th than any other day?
...anyone born on Wednesday the 13th is mysteriously retarded?
...98% of all people who die in  tweezer accidents do so on Wednesday the 13th?
...Stalin, Hitler, Pope Benedict, Vlad the Impaler, Sweeney Todd, Pol Pot, Margaret Thatcher and Richard Nixon all started Kindergarten on Wednesday the 13th?

...Christmas NEVER occurs on Wednesday the 13th?
...the US Department of Defence routinely upgrades it's DEFCON status one point every Wednesday the 13th?
...the Grand Age of Pirates ended on Wednesday the 13th?
...all biros made on Wednesday the 13th have no little holes halfway up them?
...Alan Alda refused to film MASH on Wednesday the 13th, after the episode in which McLean Stevenson died was scripted, filmed and released on successive Wednesdays the 13th?

*all of these facts are absolutely true and were not in any way made up by me just then. No, really.
