Friday the 13th...

It's Friday the 13th! Are you worried?



Fear of the number 13 seems to be ingrained in modern-day culture:

• Many buildings don't have a 13th floor

• Some airports don't have a gate 13; hospitals sometimes skip room 13

Fun facts:

• There can never be more than 3 Friday the 13ths in any given year

• Cheat sheet: If a month starts on a Sunday, it will have a Friday the 13th

Anyone have a bad experience on a Friday the 13th? Or is it like any other Friday, and the weekend is coming and that's all that matters!

Happy Friday!

I hope the black cat thing isn't true! I hope my Pepper kitty doesn't turn into a zombie and I never see the light of day again!!!

Whew! It was a close one! Pepper did try to take over during the night.....but I pushed him off my pillow!

Well then, how do you get to the 14th floor if no 13th floor? Is it a gap between floors?  LOL

@jhopkins6977 They literally just skip it. It goes straight from 12 to 14. A lot of companies make sure a bill is never due on the 13th too.
