Why are we so weird about the 13th?

The answer is unclear but our aversion may have religious origins. Some Christians believe Friday is unlucky because it's the day Jesus was crucified, and 13 signifies the number of guests at the Last Supper, with the infamous Judas being the 13th person seated at the table. Followers of numerology have long testified to the unsettling power of the numeral.

But there is help. ;)
