It's August 13th, and not just any day - it's a Friday the 13th.
Friday the 13th has always been an auspicious day - filled with superstition - there was even a whole series of horror movies surrounding it.
You almost don't know anything about Friday the 13th EXCEPT that movie franchise. There's a ton of theories about why FRIDAY is the bad 13th, but I think it's more so that people really didn't like the number 13.
Speaking of horror movies, it also is the birthday of the modern horror movie filmmaker - Alfred Hitchcock (he would have been 122).
And then in other famous people news, Julia Childs, the famous TV chef star died on 2014 (age 91).
I bet Julia probably made this dish a few times: filet mignon. And it's National Filet Mignon day (in the US).
I'd always thought that bacon was a must, for it to be filet mignon. Guess I'm always learning things.
It's also International Left Handers Day - so go have a guess which of the above folks were left handed... it's about 10% of the population, given the number of Friday the 13th movies, I bet one of those Jasons was.
