Thomas Clinton when it was suggested that bacterial cultures and petri dishes grouped in 13s showed consistently slower growth embarrassed by these unexpected results dr. Clinton attempted to cover the study up there’s so many words in that that I kind of zoned out okay they did a study at this university and plus I thought we weren’t on to the next question again okay well what is wrong do you mean fart okay I think my soul is being so every time I start a new fact you’re supposed to tell me if it’s true or false that’s the only requirement but I need you to tell me what you started do is sit there and wear that neon shirt and tell me if it’s true or false so just tell me when you’re going to they did a study to see if the thirteen was unlucky no you really need to listen I am they did a study to see if the low number thirteen was unlucky and they group petri dishes into different numbers and they thought that they observed slower growth in the ones that were grouped in thirteen but the guy doing the study was trying to prove that it wasn’t really unlucky and so he tried to cover up the results when it turned out that they did grow slowly okay so next one just kidding true I made that whole study up I’m sorry man it was so good – so believable i’m sorry i zoomed out is the i should have known it has been proposed that fear surrounding the number thirteen i’m going on to another question got it every time i do that it’s a new question okay yeah it has been proposed that fears surrounding the number thirteen or ancient as the act of counting primitive primitive man only had ten fingers and two feet so he could count to 12 and he thought that 13 was like this mystery man didn’t have toes false no it’s true it’s not true primitive people counted with their fingers and their feet they didn’t realize they had ten toes okay that’s what’s in the science man it’s true that it’s in the they counted to twelve they counted in twelve so they had little toes man they didn’t count you’ve missed three you have to get all the rest of them right or else you got to break him out well oh he’s already missed four well give me one for Lena see the one where I got wrong I should have gotten right okay if I get the rest of them right I don’t have to break the mirror okay all right you got to get the rest of them right some speculate that number 13 I’m going onto another one has been purposely vilified by the founders of patriarchal religions in the early days of Western civilization because it represented femininity there are 13 lunar ie menstrual cycles in a year and I’m not talking about instrument plan buddy and there are 12 solar cycles and so they thought that the 13 cycle true that is true let’s go on you’re on a roll during the Great Famine a period of mass starvation disease in Ireland between 1845 and 1852 there were an unprecedented 21 Friday the 13th says three per year that occurred which led many farmers to use supernatural forces as a scapegoat for their plight true oh the next ones are just for fun there is no written evidence for a Friday the 13th superstition before the 19th century true that is true it first occurred in an autobiography by about g akane giacchino Rossini who wrote William Tell Overture and finally huh it has been documented by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that over 37 million people in the United States have died due to quote unknown untraceable circumstances unquote on Friday the 13th since the CDC was founded in July 1st 1946 oh that’s true that is false mmm males brother and you know what you gotta do I wasn’t even good at even participating in there’s a 50% chance that you would get half of those right and you didn’t even do that so I’ll give me the goggles put on your eye protection here we go I don’t believe in this superstition type stuff but this is pretty cool we’re gonna hang this up thanks for liking and commenting on this episode you know what time it is 7 years of bad luck I’m Maria and I’m max I’m Lucy and this is Clarence and we’re old schoolers Berg Dayton Ohio a more fancy and it’s time to spin the wheel of mythicality it’s Friday and we baked another ear biscuit for you this one features Justine had a really good conversation with her it’s like over a truck yeah also click through to good mythical more we discussed the entities of our personal interactions with superstition Justina xeric say say Leslie Rhett is terrified of links right arm Wow you mean bed keep it in your shirt keep it in your shirt my right arm this one’s good this one’s good let’s go Keys gonna give it down well then it’s gone man look it’s gone he’s gone don’t worry about good that’s if I go it’s fine he’s totally gone totally on that’s totally got rid of it don’t worry about well like the bet the whole routine of like a batting stance and doing things in a certain way like oh the nipple rub I’ve never seen that
