Using a very scientific algorithm, we at the Clog have uncovered 30 things that are more unlucky than Friday the 13th. It’s science, people, OK? Whether you’re completely superstitious or you’re only, in the words of Michael Scott, “a little stitious,” these 30 things plague the life of every Golden Bear. At least you might be able to breathe a little easier this Friday knowing that it could be a lot worse.
