Friday the 13th Photos

It's been suggested that 13 is an unlucky number because it is one more than a perfect dozen - Judas' appearance at the Last Supper, making 13 men, is often cited. So strong is the superstition that some hotels skip 13 when naming floors. There is even a name for fear of the number: Triskedekaphobia.
