Friday, the 13th

West has this huge superstition for the number 13. Doubly so when the 13th falls on a Friday! Radio talk shows were mocking and receiving calls on the topic today. I have seen multi storied buildings skip the numbering of the 13th floor and call it the 14th. So if you get on an elevator you will 11, 12, 14, 15, etc!

Perhaps Friday the 13th is not good for the incumbents in power. Looking at the election results in Tamilnadu, one would think that! :-)
