I guess all who complained were never ever 13 years old, never survived the 13th of any month, never mention the number 13, skip the 13th minute of every hour…

Many airlines also have no row 13 on the plane (yoppusee, that row always crashes) and many hotels have no 13th floor either.

sad,

Guess where “Old 14th Street” is in my Richmond, Virgina….

If you guessed right where new 13th Street should be give yourself 5 points.

Me, I’d feel safer if I just knew 25 people who didn’t cater to superstition and foolishness.

And yet some still wonder why hermits become hermits.

I’d feel safer using an airline that didn’t cater to superstition and foolishness.

Perfect observation for the story, Eideard !

I know the badluck number in Italy is 7, so it seems unlikely they have complains about these 13 dots on the tail.

Also note that If you count correctly it are 26 dots, or not?

Don’t worry, it’ll just go bankrupt like it’s predecessor Sabena. No guarantees even for a national airline.

wow. and thought only in Chicago were we dumb enough to have elevators that skip 13 and just have it listed as 14. how is it our species has survived for so long?

I’d feel safer with a government that didn’t cater to superstition and foolishness!
