At this time of year on a cold day most of us, especially general chat users, have probably stayed in anyway.

Here you go and no, I'd not buy a number thirteen either!

Although having said that I did own a house once that had a witch's mark on the inside of the door. Spooky eh?

That's what they said about Apollo 13.
Apollo 13 launched at 13:13. The oxygen tank explosion happened on the 13th April.
Spooky? Nah, it's just a coincidence

SWMBO has a fear of 13 (not morbidly so) but her family do live on the 13th floor in Ukraine but she doesn't seem to have an issue with that. Then again they count the ground floor as 1 so, technically, it's the 12th floor
I do believe in coincidences. There have been many other catastrophes that have happened both natural and man-made that don't have the number 13 involved.

I was in school sixth form on one Friday 13th. I was performing an organic chemistry experiment using liquid bromine in a dropping funnel in a fume cupboard. Safe enough until I accidentally knocked over the clamp stand. The dropping funnel lived up to its name, it rolled out of the fume cupboard and shattered on the floor. The bromine evaporated. The result was an evacuated school building, firemen in breathing apparatus and I had to pay for the broken glassware.
Since then I've avoided using glassware on a Friday 13th.

My little bro' was born at 12.14am on April the 1st but the nurse attending said to my mother, "shall we make that 11.14pm on March the 31st?"
Strange but true

Why not make it 11:59 pm., it's only 15 minutes earlier.
It's the ones born on 29th February I feel sorry for, they have their 16th birthday when their contemporaries are 64.
