Many people believe that friday 13th is a real bad day and you will get bad luck all day and you could get accident easily. Personally I don't believe that because I always get lucky in Friday 13th and my house no is #13 and still I get lucky most of the time. What do you think ?

Please see my response to this discussion http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1186573.aspx
It is titled: Is it true that the no.13 is realy unlucky??????
I don't feel the need to repeat myself although others feel the need to start discussions without doing a search to see if other discussions concerning the same topic exist.
No offense to you. You will never know if someone doesn't tell you that you should do a search for the topic before you start the discussion.

Sorry in advance for my ''bespectacled smurf/schtroumpf à lunettes'' comments... LOL
It is just a superstition... :-) In my building, which has ''no 13th floor'', the people who live on the 14th actually live on the 13th.
Wikipedia (check ''unlucky 13'') offers many insights. That superstition seems to stem from 1) the fact there were 13 persons at Jesus's last supper and 2) from older deeper Jewish number theories (any Kabbal afficionados here?). As a prime number (and for other reasons? please enlighten me) 7 was a perfect number and 6 was an evil number as the product of its factors equals itself (any other reason anyone??) 13 being the sum of 6 and seven...
If I'm talking nonsense, please tell me LOL
I really 'outnerded' myself today. I'm very open to contradictions or further insights.
