This number 13 malarkey has always intrigued me.
I've researched in the past, but drawn to no solid opinion or conclusion of its
a) origins (yea, I know, what else would come after 12 and before 14)
b) why it has such significance in my culture and within other cultures that I know something about.
Why do you think No. 13 is a known “issue” ?
Thank you for taking the time.
Number.
