I would not classify myself as a superstitious person, but so many people worry about bad karma and bad luck on Friday the 13th. I have found that the number 13 is my lucky number. My husband's badge number is 613, my house number is 413, and we are getting ready to celebrate 13 years together. How can it be a bad thing?
Amazingly there are 13 common superstitions

5. Knock on Wood
6. The numbers 666
7. 7 years bad luck when breaking a mirror-
