Friday the 13th News of Note-- Part 5: Unlucky Day for "Joey the Clown" Lombardo

MAY 13, 1994:  The Bulls' Scottie Pippen sits out the final 1.8 seconds of a playoff game against the New York Knicks with the score tied because he is miffed that coach Phil Jackson has drawn up a play giving the last shot to Toni Kukoc.

The Bulls win when Kukoc hits the shot.

JANUARY 13, 2006:  FBU agents arrest "Joey the Clown" Lombardo in Elmwood Park.  The mob boss, on the lam for nine months, is apprehended after suffering from an abscessed tooth and going to his dentist, who turns out to be an FBI tipster.  What a world when you can't even trust your dentist.  Wondering if he got that tooth taken care of?
