      The expression in the UK is "13 - unlucky for some".

      I've met people who live in fear of the number 13. Can't remeber the name of it now - Drydeckaphobia? Something like that.

      I was told that the superstition came from 12 apostles +Thaddeus + Judas - but that's probably complete rubbish.
      Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
        Then why call him God? - Epicurus

            My grandmother was born on Friday the 13...Her family was ultra superstitious, so they legally changed her birthday to the 14th.
