I don't think so. Even numerologist says that some numbers are lucky for some persons but not to another. It is just a belief that I think came from the last supper where Christ with his 12 disciples included makes them 13 and Christ was betrayed by Judas on that scene, but no scientific basis that says number 13 is really a bad luck number.

I think it's just gotten a baad rap over time. Tradition has carried it on. Old wives tales, general superstition, mythology, Juseo-Christian bible all have references to bad luck numbers. I see no truth to back any of that up.

If you believe in luck, then any number or thing you choose can by lucky or unlucky for you. However random chance (coincidence) operates independently of superstition.

I don't think this is a question anyone can validly answer. I don't believe there's any irreputable evidence that it is or isn't bad luck. It's all relative to the person. I think it's not.

Currently the number 13 is considered to be an unlucky number. However, I have read books that say it used to be lucky. And still is in some earth-worshipping religions, such as paganism, where the number 13 is a lucky and magical number.
Consequently there were 13 months and 13 zodiac signs (the Gemini twins had separate identities).
Knowing how Christianity and other god-as-a-man-based religions were prone to say that what the pagans (Earth-and-god-as-a-woman) considered good was bad, this was the case with the number 13.

Bad luck is all in your head. If you really believe that load of crap, I feel sorry for you.

I was born on the 13th. Good number for me, not sure about my parents though.
