Everyone says 13 is an unlucky number. But to me it IS my lucky number and its my favorite number. I done some research and if you have 13 letters in your name you are supposed to have the devil's luck. But I don't have 13 letters in my name and Friday the 13th is my best day. I look forward to it every year.
Does anyone know of any other ways 13 is supposed to be lucky?
Even if you just have a guess i would like to hear your opinon please. It would be appreciated.
thank you

If you were to read the book "Midnighters-the secret hour" by Scott Westerfeld you would have a whole new idea of the number 13!

Well, I was having bad luck on Friday the 13th this year, but I still don't believe it's because of the day. I think it's just a superstition. It was just a bad day, I have never had any problems any other Friday the 13th. It's a superstition that skyscrapers don't have a 13th floor because they are bad luck, I have never been in one so I don't know if they really do or don't have one. Some people believe that all odd numbers are lucky which would include 13. Here's a link with a little bit of history on Friday the 13th and the "unlucky" number 13. http://heritage.scotsman.com/myths.cfm?id=1459322006

I don't know of ways that it is lucky, but 13 is my lucky #.
The way I look at it is this: I'm a lefty so basically I'm backwards from the majority of people. Most people think 13 is bad so I don't.
