"Friday the 13th" happens just once or twice a year. Exactly as rare as... "Thursday the 12th" or "Saturday the 14th." Or "Friday the 6th." Or "Friday the 20th." Or "Friday the 27th." — PolitiTweet.org

Any month that begins on a Saturday has a “Friday the 13th”. Once every seven years, or so, when February has 28 days **and** begins on a Saturday, it forces March to have a “Friday the 13th” too. The only occasion where “Friday the 13th” occurs in two consecutive months — PolitiTweet.org
