Episode 13 - On the 13th! Kinda...In this episode I talk alllll about Friday the 13th and the "history" behind it. We travel from 1792 B.C. all the way up to modern times and discuss how this number has become the sensational hell-iday it's become today. (Sorry - that was corny.)
**CLARIFICATION** I reference the roman numeral 17, and say it as VXII when it is XVII. OOPS!
I hope you love this one, I really do.
