Well, since you ask, here's one of those stupid factoids I learned during my insanity years (those between 16 and 21 - individuals actual duration may vary, and some question whether or not mine have actually ever ended....)

not sure how much this has to do with the common feeling that this number is somewhat "jinxed",

- My pleasure - like most factoids - completely useless after you get married and can no longer use them as an excuse to get the other sex's attention at the bar....

Plus - Joey put that ridiculous piece of nonsense to rest in a hurry - just look at that musky she has in her avatar !

[Joey]

My dad was born on 03,13,1939

Passed away 30 days before his 69nth bday

 

#13 was his lucky(favorite lotto) number

 

Ordered a dozen minnows yesterday, and received a bakers dozen.

 

the other day we were chatting about the nudist resort in flamborough, a driver came in half way through the conversation. Asked us where it was exactly, we told him it was on the 13nth conc and 6. Its actually on the 14nth. No, 13 conc there.

Drove him nuts for a day or two, looking for it.

A number 13 walks into a bar and asks the barman for a pint of beer.

 

"Sorry I can't serve you," states the barman.

 

"Why not?!" asks the number 13 with anger showing in its voice.

 

"You're under 18," replies the barman

It's been my lucky Number since I was 10 yrs old, I went in my 1st 24hr skate-a-thon to raise money for a local group, I was told I was to young but I was stubborn & my parents let me go in it thinking I'd quit early, I ended up with the #13 & then they tried to take it back but I said I wanted it, that was the 1st of 3 successful 24 hr skate-a-thon's & the 4th year they made me quit at 21 hrs because I was throwing up, so I think bring it on #13 rocks
