Dear Dave:

The number "13" has many misconceptions that it is unlucky.

13-0. Many apartment buildings don't have a "13th" floor.

13-1. In The Kingdom Of The Netherlands, an average of 7,800 traffic accidents occur on Fridays. But as people are suspicious of Friday the 13th, less of them are driving. the average goes down to 7,500.

13-2. The Italian composer Rossini (who great operas like "The Barber Of Seville") was suspicious of Friday the 13th & ironically died on Friday, November XIIIth, MDCCCLXVIII (13th, 1868.)

Jason Voorhees,

Rory
