In the whole of 2022, we only had… wait for it… ONE Friday the 13th. That's right, just one solitary day of potential chaos or awesome good luck, depending on your outlook.
Think of it this way: It’s like finding that one perfect avocado at the grocery store. It’s a rare and special occasion, worthy of celebration (or at least a knowing nod).

Ever wonder why Friday the 13ths don't happen every month? There's actually a perfectly logical (but slightly boring) explanation! The dates need to line up just right!
