Why was this so widespread. Are we all that superstitious to the point of excluding a whole floor. Nor would he take a room on the 13th floor of a hotel. I put no store by this.

In fact if you haven t noticed by now it s generally not even possible to visit the 13th floor. People say that a long time ago when these builders where building a 13th floor they had a really hard time building it and soon after struggling to build it the floor collasped. Omitting the 13th floor may take a variety of forms. I was just listening to the thinking atheist.

Seth talked about how the elevators in many buildings skip the 13th floor. How could this legend about the unluckiness of the number 13 pervade even the hospitality industry. That is a superstition. For those astute observers out there you may have noticed that many hotels and office buildings don t have a 13 th floor.

But my husband would never sit in the 13th row in a plane. In nearly every culture the number 13 is an ominous symbol one that is steeped in centuries of superstition. How is this rational.
