Craigieboy Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 The Edinburgh City Council (Corporation) built entire housing schemes and omitted the number 13 from every street at one point because it was deemed bad luck to have a house numbered 13. No-one would want them. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1874hmfc Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I also noticed on a RyanAir flight there was no row 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chumpsteak Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 My neighbour's flat across the hall is meant to be numbered 13 but he had it changed to 12A. I wonder if Bad Luck is so easily duped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a society in the US named after him, a bit like the scouts, who apparently encourage their members to follow the christian faith.... Not sure jaques would have approved...........

Sheriff Fatman Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 A bus company in Moscow changed one of it's route numbers from 666 to 616, due to 666 being the number of the beast in Revelation. Unfortunately a papyrus of Revelation has been found that has been dated as the oldest copy yet discovered, it has the number of the beast as 616 and now 666 is thought to be yet another transcription error in the Bible.

Jamie_the_Jambo Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 after being betrayed and killed by the King of France and the Pope, the Knights Templar Grandmaster was burnt at the stake on Friday the 13th. He shouted that he would have revenge.....with a month the pope and the king were both dead allegedly..... Friday the 13th is considered unlucky as this was the day The king of France plotted and organised to have every knight Templar rounded up and arrested. Those who were caught were unlucky as most of them escaped having had prior knowledge of what was about to happen. Jacque de Molay did not burn at the stake on this day. Also, the Pope and Philip The Fair were not both dead within the month. Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
