that's a serious case of paranoia if you don't take your car out because of some old superstitious nonsense

Not sure about 13, but friday used to be the day when they hung people, that and the supposedly unlucky 13 mixed used to scare the superstitious people of the middle ages.

Found out!!,
the last supper/banquet of the gods, there were 12 gods present then the 13 joined them called LOKI, all was OK then BALDER turned up and LOKI DIED, so it was said to be UNLOKI 13, or as today unlucky 13.
This would not explain why the ROMANS also held superstition for this number though, asked my bible freind, as she is VERY nice!!
