13

Today is Friday the 13th. I don't believe in such a shit but this is a perfect time to speak about kinda bad luck numbers. In Japan this number is 4. They have 3b floors instead of 4th floors for example. The reason is that 四 (four) and 死 (death) have the same reading — 'Shi'. The same thing works for China and several other asian countries speaking Mandarin as well.

For the rest of the world the most creepy combination is Friday the 13th. What the hell? It just came from movies. How on Earth one could believe in this?

Here's some statistics for you. In fact the 13th day of the month is slightly more likely to be a Friday than any other day of the week — Wiki says. On average, there is a Friday the 13th once every 212 days. Every year has at least one month when 13th day is Friday.

Love mystic shit? What is the sum of digits in 13? Ha-ha-ha! By the way, Karelian for 4 is 'nelli'.
