According to another interpretation, the number 13 is unlucky because it is the number of full moons in a contemporary year, but two full moons in a single calendar month (mistakenly referred to as a blue moon in a magazine article of the 1940s) only happens about every 5 years.

Early nursery rhymes stated there were thirteen months in a year because of the natural moon cycle that was used to count the lunar year. In England, a calendar of thirteen months of 28 days each, plus one extra day, known as “a year and a day” was still in use up to Tudor times.

It was suggested by Charles A. Platt writing in 1925 that the reason 13 is considered unlucky is that a person can count from 1-12 with their 8 fingers, two thumbs and 2 feet, but not beyond that, so the number 13 is unknown, hence frightening, hence unlucky. This idea discounts the use of toes or other body parts in counting.

In Scotland, there is no gate 13 in any airport, instead there is a gate 12B.
Inside of a Lufthansa plane with row numbers going straight from 12 to 14.
Some airplanes skip a row 13, going straight from 12 to 14.

Some tall buildings have resorted to skipping the “thirteenth floor”, either by numbering it “14″ or as “12a”.

Some streets do not contain a house number 13.

In some forms of motor sport, for example Formula One, there is no number 13 car.

In many cultures, getting married on any day of the week that falls under number 13 is highly discouraged. There is a superstition that should thirteen sit at a table to dine, one will die in the next year. This prompted the formation of The Thirteen Club to debunk it.

The legion with which Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon was the Legio XIII Gemina or the 13th legion.

The Code of Hammurabi, a collection of laws created ca. 1760 BC, does not contain a thirteenth law.

The College of William and Mary claims 13 priorities, or achievements of the academic world, which they accomplished before any other university or college in the United States. For example, William and Mary was the first college in the US to establish an honor code. A marble plaque commemorating these 13 priorities hangs on the exterior wall of the Wren Building, the nation’s oldest academic building still in continuous use. Today, the Wren Building houses the college’s Religious Studies department.

The Apollo 13 spacecraft malfunctioned after being launched on April 11th at 13:13 CST, forcing it to return to Earth without a landing on the moon and imperiling its crew.

After 13 years of being the richest man in the world, Microsoft Corporation chairman Bill Gates lost this title, according to Forbes magazine’s 2008 list of the world’s billionaires.

Microsoft plans to skip Office 13 for being “an unlucky number,” going directly from Office 12 to Office 14.

The creators of the online game Kingdom of Loathing avoid the number 13 in all of their programming.

iPhone 3G will be available to Globe’s postpaid and prepaid subscribers in the Philippines later this year. Surely, lots of techie persons out here are itching to get hold of the latest from Apple. Good thing it’s half the price worth $199. Thats around, P8,000+++ in pesos right?! plus other taxes, etc….etc.. will might be around P12,000++++ and that’s for 8GB model. The 16GB model is worth $299. Specs include GPS, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, and EDGE capability. I love to have this one but I don’t think it’s a “Die to have” for me! I am contented with my mobile phone now from Nokia wherein I can text, call. it has a video capability, can capture photos. and I can check my email from it, I also need toresearch on degree programs that i wanted to pursue if i may have time to study my masters.

to be paired with this pink chair. and this pink computer case photo from AxionTech.com

I remember she asks me not to forget her “pasalubong” which is no less, but a PINK donut.
