Description: "What do Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan all have in common? HINT: They share the same fateful phenomenon that afflicted the Titanic, the Deepwater Horizon, Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Facility, the Exxon Valdez and so many more. From John Belushi to John Candy, Sharon Tate to Watergate, countless ill-fated pop stars, politicians and personalities also suffered tragically from this eerie link. Give up? They all fell victim to sudden, sick twists of epic bad luck during the third month of the year, sending them spinning off into catastrophic disaster -- proof that March is, and always has been, the unluckiest month of all. Just ask Julius Caesar,"--Amazon.com
