Surviving Unlucky Days
Today is Friday the 13th.
In the past, I’ve posted some of the possible history of the negative superstitions around Friday the 13th. So, today, instead of that, I thought I might give you all some links to helpful ideas to surviving some of the things that may go wrong. Let’s start with how to Survive a Plane Crash on the Wired.com How-To Wiki. I mean, I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been flying on one of these unlucky Fridays, but, well, I suppose that on any one of them I could have found myself going down and in need of these tips.
Now, I tend to think longer term when it comes to bad luck, and I’m fairly sure that the Apocalypse is going to start on a Friday the 13th. So, the best way to survive? Hunker down and wait for civilization to start again. In the mean time, contemplate the preparations suggested in a different Wired feature; Ask an Algorithm: Apocalypse 101. After all, as unlucky as the Apocalypse is bound to be, being unprepared for it would be worse!
