"Triskaidekaphobia" is listed in the dictionary as the extreme superstition regarding the number 13. The Otis Elevator Company reports that 80 to 90% of the elevators it has installed in skyscrapers and large hotels do not even have a 13th-floor button. According to surveys, more than 50% of people say they are at least a little superstitious, with Lady Luck, black cats, knocking on wood, rabbits’ feet, pennies, ladders and broken mirrors serve as lucky and unlucky reminders of this fact in our everyday lives... What better day to have a PARTY!
