    Finally, my luck will change...
    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    I saw a sign on a lamppost in town the other week. It said:

    "Psychic Conference, 17th June, next left."
    I don't live here any more.

    Yeah, Friday+Saturday is the weekend. Sunday is working.

    I lived in Iran for a few years and I never got used to a working Sunday.

    Does Zaza have 2 APIs (Apey Eyes)

    In Christian theology Friday has long been though to be unlucky. Supposedly Christ was crucified on a Friday, Cain slew Abel on a Friday and Eve gave Adam the forbidden fruit on a Friday. I think if you look through Christian thoelogy you can find lots of other bad things happening just in time for the weekend.

    Well that confirms it then. Evil definitely stalks the earth on a Friday.

    In India, Thursday is considered a good day or say, it's considered a kind of Holy day. Thursday is called "Bhrispathy" in Hindi, which resembles the planet Jupiter (also known as "Guru", so now you know what it means).

    It stands for wisdom, the higher mind, prophecy, organized religions, universities, law, ceremonies, and rituals. It establishes far-ranging connections between people and ideas. It is the planet of abundance, prosperity, generosity, joviality, fortune, optimism, finance, and world commerce.
