Well I don't know I got the following info from Google Search.
Friday 13th-- how is the fear of number 13 demonstrated?
More than 80% of highrises lack a 13th floor.
Many airports skip the 13th gate.
Airplanes have no 13th aisle.
Hospitals and hotels have no room number 13.
Italians omit the number 13 from their national lottery.
On streets in Florence, Italy, the house between 12 and 14 is adressed as 12 and a half.
Many cities do not have a 13th Street or a 13th Avenue.
In France socialites known as the quatorziens(fourteeners)
once made themselves available as 14 th guest to keep a dinner party from an unlucky fate.
Many triskaidekaphobes, as those who fear the unlucky integer
are known, point to the ill-fated mission to the moon, Apollo 13.
If you have 13 letters in your name, you will have the devil's luck.
Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Jeffery Dahmer, Theodore Bundy and Albert De Salvo all have 13 letters in their name.
I still don't know LOL
