So, today was Friday 13th. Where did the superstition associated with number 13 come from?
I've heard numerous stories. I wonder which one do you think is true about the curse of the number 13.

In Japan for example the number 42 is considered unlucky and most hotels do not have a room 42.
The reason being that the pronunciation of 42 Shi Ni it a homonyn for the Japanese word for dieing shini.

The oldest references are to the murder and imprisonment of the Knights Templar on Friday the 13th of October 1307. However the number 13 has been considered bad luck for even longer than that.

A good place to begin investigating would be on the 13th. floor of any Casino Hotel or High Rise Building.
