    Hey Danik, here where I live in Virginia it is not only Friday the 13th but also the night of the full moon... Weirdness forecast and expected!

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie

    In Brazil we have quite an extense list of superstitions, Pendragon.But what baffled me when I was in New York was the absence of the 13th floor in the buildings. By the way, our new president took office yesterday so to avoid Friday the13th.
    The night of the full moon is the night when men turn into werewolves...

    Dubious:Everything you are not too sure of.

    Landrower: Misspelled word that is possibly meant to be "Land rover" which is an explorer's main duty off road vehicle, or maybe "Land owner" which is a person that actually believe he own his own land until the Government takes it away on any pretext (What can I say, my Great-Grandfather was a full-blood member of the Cherokee Nation and we definitely know about Governments stealing land. Remember the Trail of Tears?) Or maybe it is spelled correctly, and means a guy trying to row a boat on land, who knows?!

    I stand corrected, Pendragon, Land rover. No spelling memory. I didnīt mean put any one rowing a boat on land neither was I addressing the delicate issue of land owning.

    Bellicose:Provocative people who love starting a row.
