Yes today is Friday the 13. There are superstitions connected to this day, why is that and where do they come from?
The sixth day of the week and the number 13 both have foreboding reputations said to date from ancient times, and their inevitable conjunction from one to three times a year portends more misfortune than some credulous minds can bear. According to some sources it's the most widespread superstition in the United States today. Some people refuse to go to work on Friday the 13th; some won't eat in restaurants; many wouldn't think of setting a wedding on the date.

Here at HackALife, we hope you had a great and safe fourth of July weekend. I myself did not have an opportunity to do any of the 'firework' festivities, but did have a nice holiday meal with family on Saturday. As I was watching the news on Saturday, the reporter was talking about the increase in fines for illegal fireworks in Oregon this year. The fine had been raised from $500 to $1000 and the reporter was mentioning that their would be zero tolerance with people who lit off illegal fireworks this fourth of July season, which in Oregon, is anything over ten feet in the air.

This weekend the grocery stores were full of people buying food and other products for those famous Memorial Day BBQs. Most of the people I saw at the store were in a hurry, trying to get back to the car where their kids were waiting, or back to the party where everyone was waiting for the chip dip or more drinks. I was in the same situation, running up to the store for a few quick items and wanting to get home as soon as possible. And so, as I approached the checkout line, I saw six checkers and lines of various lengths. I realized that choosing the correct line would be pivotal to my opportunity to get home quickly. So the lottery began, which line would I pick? Would I fly through the line getting home quickly, or be stuck in the time stretching line of a checker who is taking their sweet time? Fortunately for me that day, I picked a fast line. But how did I get so lucky? Was there any strategy involved?
