People seem to be cottoning on to the idea that 2013 is unlucky because of the 13 at the end. I even heard of weddings being postponed. But this is all ridiculous.
Even if one is superstitious and believes the number 13 to be unlucky, 2013 is a totally different number. Do people think 31 is unlucky, or 6135? So why 2013?

Back in the mid 80’s a family friend passed away at a young age on a Friday 13th, so this particular superstition has always stayed with me mainly because it reminds me of the shock of that day, but I know it could just as easily have been Thursday 12th or Saturday 14th.
