I was born on a Friday the 13th so how could anyone think it isn't lucky.

More evidence, lol.

My dad's birthday is on the 13th, when it lands on a Friday he doesn't do anything unsafe, lol.

42!

I remember this number from the movie "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", the answer to the ultimate question of life.

#42 , what is it?

In my opinion, the book was better.

Books. And the books are always better.

But!

Zooey. Mmmmm.

Thirteen got its bad reputation (supposedly) because of the number of people at the Last Supper: Jesus and the 12 disciples ... and look how that turned out. Unlucky for Jesus, some might say.

But very lucky for the rest of us ...

Oh sorry.. I guess I have some favorite numbers. Three. Seven. And twelve. They're all Biblical.

There is also a strong tie to Norse Mythology and a story where Loki arrived as the 13th guest at a feast in Valhalla and tricked another guest into murdering the god Baldur. Clearly pre-Christianity, but the oldies are the goodies, so they say.

Thanks, was not familiar with that one. That Loki always was a trouble-maker! He never should have been invited.
