    As of I read in newspaper yesterday there were one column about the different superstitiousness of people on the no 13 worldwide.* You will never find 13 no. room in hotel in England they are skipping 13 no. room with 12-A.

    • People fears when Friday comes with the date 13 and they prefer to be laid in bed and not going outside of home.
      there were several examples on 13 but the one That caught my eyes was, Saddam Hussein's DOB addition was no 13 and he caught on 13th December. or Tell me if in your country you are also having different views on 13.

            Triskaidekaphobia. One is that the superstition goes back to the Last Supper. There were 13 people at the meal, including Jesus Christ, and Judas was thought to be the 13th guest.

              Actually not. As may be determined from the etymology of the word month's originally coincided with a lunar cycle, of which there are 12.41 rather than 12 in a year - hence periodically a 13th month needed to be added. There is evidence that early society's used a lunar calendar, and that the transition from that to a solar calendar was accompanied by corresponding changes in deity, from lunar to solar. Consequently, the number 13 was regarded as associated with the old religions, hence unlucky.

                It is also rare to find a street house number 13. They do exist but, especially in new builds. Apparently planes dont have a row 13 either, which is paticulary strange.

                            Yes, by idiots, but you stated the newspaper article as say there were NO rooms numbered 13. This is quite plainly WRONG. So, given that we accept that newspapers are full of horsecrap, why bother bringing up irrational beliefs in non-provable occurences and co-incidental events. John Lennon Killed on 7th December! Pearl Harbour was on 7th December! Cicero was assassinated on 7th December! Armenian Earthquake kills 25000 on 7th Dec! OMG - Lets all get scared of the 7th December!!!!! Oh wait, it is just a co-incidence.

                              Many companies in NL pay a "13th month" salary -- an extra month's pay at the end of the year. Basically, it means that you get paid 1/12th less each month to make up for it, but I'd hardly consider it unlucky. It seems to make people happy, not scared.

                                The 13 is unpropitious in US and EU, perhaps in India, too. But here the 4 is unpropitious. Because it pronunces as dead. So people donot like buy the cell-phone number with 4. And some buildings no 4th floor.

                                  Not true. And the French dont give a damn about the number 13. The Bouche de Rhone is the 13th depatement. All the cars have 13 on their number plates. The fact they crash a lot though is entirely due to do with they way they drive in Marseille.

                                  A friend of mine always avoided cars where the numbers on the licence plate added up to 13. On my current car they do.

                                    As of I read in newspaper yesterday there were one column about the different superstitiousness of people on the no 13 worldwide.* You will never find 13 no. room in hotel in England they are skipping 13 no. room with 12-A.

                                    • People fears when Friday comes with the date 13 and they prefer to be laid in bed and not going outside of home.
                                      there were several examples on 13 but the one That caught my eyes was, Saddam Hussein's DOB addition was no 13 and he caught on 13th December. or Tell me if in your country you are also having different views on 13.

                                    It is certainly my preference at this time of year on any day, far too cold to be laid outside. Although I do not object in the warmer months, if somewhere discrete can be found.

                                      Not true. And the French dont give a damn about the number 13. The Bouche de Rhone is the 13th depatement. All the cars have 13 on their number plates. The fact they crash a lot though is entirely due to do with they way they drive in Marseille.

                                      That is so true ! Plus the fact that some of them are burned in the night, or shot at by gangsters.

                                        Making it 13/12/11 next year (at least here, where you read and write days and month in the right order). :cool:
