Well, it seems that today, Friday 13th May, 2011, there is an alignment of 
planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, which may be observed if you get 
up early enough.
  Only occurs once in 50-100 years. Last time was 1910.
  Is this anything more than an interesting observation, or do we get larger 
tidal pull as a consequence?  Probably not, as the moon (closer), and sun 
(stronger) account for that.
  And is Friday 13th of any significance - bringer of bad luck?  No.
  Astrology, and superstition, may be a whimsical hobby, but unscientific.
