Friday the 13th

Wait…

When I first heard about this Friday 13^th thing, it was the time when Jason appears.

Many have evolved around this numbers and much more is abide by the cursed of it. I thought it would be the time for apocalypse.

I won’t talk about the history of the number. The number has been some Taboo in western culture, similar to number four (4) in Chinese culture. These effect are so strong that it changes the way we live and work today. For example, in some buildings, there are no level 4 or 13 but instead replaced by 3a or 12a. For a frequent flyer, one must have notice that there is no seat number 13 in the flight. As I usually boarded MAS, so I don’t know whether others would be the same also. So are in bolts and nuts, rarely we could find size 13 nor 4. I don’t actually think bad things will happen when we used the numbers, it is just a number. For number 13, its history is what made is so fearsome to others, while number 4 resonate the sound of death.

For whatever reason it is, I don’t think there are real cursed put on these numbers.  I’ve seen a car license plate 4440 which is still very much alive on the road. Of course, commercially, usage of these numbers is a no-no.
