    Congratulations to Advomerc,
    Our first-prize winner! Advomerc has won the new Kodak EasyShare 5.0 Megapixel Digital Camera.

    Advomerc has established himself as the resident trivia master. If not for Advomerc, would we know that the origins of Friday the 13th trace back to the Knights Templar, who also may have turned the tide at the Battle of Bannockburn? Definitely not. Now we only have to figure out what the Battle of Bannockburn is.

    Keep it up, Advomerc. You raise the collective IQ of the whole community.

    Here is one of Advomerc's posts:


    It's not common knowledge, but Friday the 13th probably got its negative connotation from King Phillip the Fair of France's surprise arrest of all of the Knights Templar in France on Friday, October 13, 1307. There's a fun fact for ya.

    Yep. Another fun fact: The Templars had a navy and they flew the Jolly Roger on their ships. Then, on October 13, 1307 their fleet disappeared. Supposedly at least some of them went to Scotland where they may have turned the tide of the Battle of Bannockburn (sp?) against the English in the 11th hour.
