I think it's in it's prime ...

Dagney · 08-13-2004, 06:17 AM

It comes after 28 and before 30?

It's a badge February can sport once every four years.

There are women who cling to it with the hopeless passion of a Red Sox fan watching a lead evaporate in the ninth.

I know many people don't like the number 13 or Friday(Black Friday?). And I like to know more about them,who can help me?thanks~
And do you like the number 4 and 6 and 8?~~

Numbers are just numbers, they are not lucky or unlucky.

Trilby · 08-13-2004, 08:20 AM

Hi No Time--I think one of the reasons the number 13 is considered unlucky is that there were 13 people at the Last Supper (12 Apostles and Jesus=13) and it was on a Friday that Jesus was betrayed by Judas (if I am remembering my Cathecism correctly) so 13 is "unlucky" and Friday the 13 is very unlucky--but only if you believe in those sorts of things. It's superstition. Like fearing black cats or saying "seven years bad luck" if you break a mirror.

and i never believe what number is lucky or unlucky,just curious^^

In Mexico, it's TUESDAY the 13ths that are unlucky. No idea why.

But today is Friday the 13th, and I have a dentist appointment. *thunder crash*

If you come back with a mouth full of blood and several teeth missing, don't skimp on the details

Greeks believe Friday the 13th is a day of good fortune.

I have never heard of that. (As you all Might recall, I am from Mexico.)

Does the fact that the #29 is 2 greater than #27 answer the question?

I say,(do not take to heart what I say) that 27 is a very special number. Is is composed of 15 and 12, it is the result of three to the 3rd power, and it is my birthday (on May, if you will)

Clodfobble · 08-13-2004, 12:13 PM

I dunno, a Spanish textbook told me that once, and a friend living in Mexico confirmed it.
