AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Unlucky for some? Dutch statisticians have established that Friday 13th, a date regarded in many countries as inauspicious, is actually safer than an average Friday.

A study published on Thursday by the Dutch Centre for Insurance Statistics (CVS) showed that fewer accidents and reports of fire and theft occur when the 13th of the month falls on a Friday than on other Fridays.

“I find it hard to believe that it is because people are preventatively more careful or just stay home, but statistically speaking, driving is a little bit safer on Friday 13th,” CVS statistician Alex Hoen told the Verzekerd insurance magazine.

In the last two years, Dutch insurers received reports of an average 7,800 traffic accidents each Friday, the CVS study said. But the average figure when the 13th fell on a Friday was just 7,500.

There were also fewer incidents of fire and theft, although the average value of losses on Fridays 13th was slightly higher.

Wife and mother arrested 32 years after escaping prison

Absoultey amazing!!!

SAN DIEGO — Authorities say a woman who escaped from a Detroit prison 32 years ago has been arrested in San Diego, where she was a wife and mother living under a false name.

U.S. Marshals say 53-year-old Susan Lefevre was taken into custody Thursday in the Carmel Valley area.

In 1976, Lefevre managed to walk out of the Detroit House of Corrections after serving just one year of a 10- to 20-year sentence on conspiracy and drug convictions.

Using the name Marie Walsh, she married, raised three children and had been living in San Diego for nearly 10 years.

Authorities in late March received a tip saying Lefevre might be living in California as Marie Walsh. They confirmed it through a thumbprint match.

When she was arrested, Lefevre told marshal’s deputies that her family had no idea she was a fugitive.

Twitter Item #40404

This morning I was staring across the table at Kirkland Signature Tortilla Strips Item #44004. First thought that popped into my (admittedly odd) mind was thats kinda close to 40404. Of course, all the “Interweb” people know what I am talking about already, Twitter. That got me thinking. I wonder what products have the famous 40404 as their item number. Being an “Interweb” person, I know who will have the answer (the great and powerful OZ, aka): Google. Here are the top 5 products with the item number of 40404:

So I broke the blender, then with the help of Jason and a screw driver fixed it. Looking forward to more delicious smoothies. They are definitely tasty.

Only in Canada…

Actual headline in CBC News: Police on guard in Montreal in case of another hockey riot

Hockey Riots

All the real hockey fans are in Canada!

Chablo hinted that police will be bused in, instead of bringing cruisers — a popular target for rioters. Police will have a helicopter available if it’s needed, and will get backup help from the RCMP and Quebec provincial police. Read the whole article.

Amazing!!!
