Are you scared?
Something about the number 13
Here are some interesting facts I read about this date, and the levels of superstition many businesses & organizations have to avoid the number 13 -
Airplanes have no 13th aisle Italians omit the number 13 from their national lottery Again in Italy, on the streets in Florence, the house between 12 and 14 is numbered ’12 and a half’ Many airports skip the 13th gate More than 80% of high rise buildings do not have (skip) the 13th floor in numbering 13 letters in your name = the devil’s luck - Wow (Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Albert De Salvo, Jeffery Dahmer)
Interesting……
Phew…i’m only 12 letters (unless the space counts or you count my middle initial).
I don’t think Jack the Ripper should count though…it wasn’t his real name. If it was, I suspect he would have been easier to catch.
ZOMG my name has 13 letters, what do i do…
Sheila – you probably may need to add an initial to your full name. Maybe try to add your nickname or something.
