Friday the 13!!!
 

I wanted to beat everyone at saying that it is Friday the 13, eventhough I am posting this on the Thursday the 12...lol

Hmmm... 18 hour drive to northern MI on Friday the 13th.

~Tom~, who luckily doesn't believe in bad luck etc.

Tom built a robot and doesn't believe in luck?

Anytime something I build works, I consider myself lucky. In fact, I always rub a piece of garlic on a penny and keep it in my shoe. (thanks to Scott Adams' The Dilbert Principle )

Superstitions are flaws of humans. The High Priest is glad he isn't human.

I didn't even realize it was Friday the 13th until I had to write down the date. And actually, I had a pretty good day, so much for superstitions.

April 13, (friday?), 13:00, Apollo 13 took off. I don't know if it was superstitions that caused the problem or not. Actually, my best friend had a black cat. The only bad Friday the 13th I had was the one I didn't see the cat. I'm still suporstitious though. It gives the world one more common bond to complain about.
C~ya, Carolyn who thinks everyone has to have something to complain about, be it valid or not.

Humans... are... strange...

-Ed "Yes, this is a post to boost his post count" McDonnell

Really........
 

Every animal is, in some way, strange. Strange is not bad. I really think you should start a thread of random posts and useless info.

David...your wonderous team leader had a bad Friday the 13th...he left Courtland, NY...got about 1 1/2 hours away, then realized he accidentally took someone's keys that he was holding for them! So, he had to drive all the way back, then turn around and start back to Indiana again. THEN...there were no open hotels, so he made the drive straight threw....10 hours. He's tired!!

Well at least scott is getting better at remembering keys. he usually locks them in his truck or leaves them in the door lock of his office. But was he tired enough to see cows and farm animals?

Maybe The High Priest should start something totally useless on these boards.

hey you guys thinck you go it bad?
 

hey you guys thinck you go it bad i work with the police as a cadet and i can't thinck of what could go wrong on friday the 13th. :(


PS: even thought this is a few days late

I once got all the way to school, 30 minute drive, before I realized that I wasn't wearing any shoes. I had to go in and get permission to go home. The administrators weren't very happy about that,they wanted my mom to bring my shoes to the school.

The High Priest doesn't believe in luck. Sure, he has a good-luck necklace, but he knows it really doesn't affect anything. Well, unless it gives him telekinetic powers, and that hasn't happened yet. ;)

That's something you have to develop on your own. Doesn't come from a necklace. Sorry

me, im a good irishman...i know theres such a thing as luck

Luck o' the Irish?
 

Yes. We call it Murphy's Law.

Speak for yourself, I call it "gravity" but since we're on a first-name basis, so I usually call it "Bob".

But gravity is a perpendicular force so it doesn't apply to everything. Oh, scary. I just used something I learned in physics.
*SHREIKS in fear and agony*

And I call it Energy. Or mass (E=mc^2). Or velocity (KE=.5mv^2). Or gravity (PE=mgh). Or.....


Matt who's done now ;)

Ok, so Murphy's law can't be proven, but it's what explains all the bad stuff that happens. And actually, gravity doesn't make us move unless we make a counter-movement to it. Of course, then you could argue that the Earth is constantly rotating and revolving around our sun, and since gravity keeps us in place, we are moving with the earth, so Newton's first law applies.

-Ed "My head hurts" McDonnell

personally, i have a different definition for what sets everything in motion. as any good irishman knows, theres 2 things, other then the pub, that shape the world, put events into motion, and all that. God and luck

Luck doesn't exist. It's all in your mind.

God, well, that all depends on your religion, and I'm not religious whatsoever.

I guess the dizzyness is technically motion.

who walks out? stumbles maybe, or carried, but walk out???

You forgot carried Mike.

power of the mind
 

There's a lot of things that go up in our head, and many people have tried for many long years to try and explain them, learn about them, study them, and change them. However our mind is sooooo complex, even with our technology, and knowledge, we still don't fully understand the brain. The power of the mind, does it actually overcome the power of the body? Well maby, or maby not. I know if you think your hitting a soft, easily broken object, when you hit a concrete block, if your convinced its easily broken, then you will break through the block. I also know if you convince somebody they are about to be burned, and then blind-fold them, then take an ice-cube and touch it to their skin, their skin will boil up and burn. There are a lot of things we don't know, is luck one of them?

no i didnt...

oh and carolyn: youre not supposed to remember it

And he should know. :D

Sorry, you left yourself wide open for that. ;)

<---- feels stupid because this is the second time that he's said Mike's left something out of a post and hasn't.

<---- apparently can't read

<---- gives Mike his deepest appoligies.

Oooops! forgot to respond to this.
 

The same Tom Fairchild who was with Carolyn at the team party when she had to leave one of the "clubs" due to an incident involving a table. Your a rebel Tom, who sometimes uses that last brain cell for things other than thinking. :)
You know I'm just joking.

Hey now! I thought we were keeping that one a secret!

~Tom~, who WASN'T the one dancing on the table (Carolyn...... ;) )

Maby someone should start a new thread entitled "dirty secrets of FIRSTers" Because with all this going on I might...

j/k

Just what we need: another tabloid

Secrets of FIRSTers that might have them compared to Bill Clinton and Gary Condit?

somehow i doubt it would be another tabloid...cuz i have a scary feeling that nothing posted there would be fictitious.

either that or were all just insane

I'm gonna have to agree with Mike on that one.
