Yes, it’s Friday the 13th again. The 13th falls on a Friday more than any other day of the week, so get over it. It’s only valid in in English and Portuguese speaking countries, so go visit a Spanish-speaking neighborhood for the day.
If you want to blame someone, it’s the calendar of Pope Gregory XIII that created this imbalance. [He obviously didn’t have a problem with the number on any day.]

I wonder if that’s going to be Google’s excuse for bloggering Blogger? “Blame Pope Gregory XIII!” Makes about as much sense as any other excuse they come up with. 😈
I noticed that they pulled blog posts from 2½ hours before the maintenance started when they went read-only.
The moderator on the Blogger help forum seemed to know what had happened very early on, but that may have been smoke and mirrors to stop all of the complaints that were cascading across the forum.
If they blame G-13 DonoWho will get on their case and yell anti-Catholic bias.
