No. 13

Number
over 1 year ago

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.

    It is an interesting question. I guess it is superstition that means it persists. I have often had dentist appointments on 13 th. I guess others rejected the date. However I don't like having the TV volume at 13. To me it is a prime number but not sure why it seems worse than other prime numbers. However numbers that are divisible by lots of other numbers feel much more pleasant and give me a good feeling.
