"13" : Evil?

[JasonBourne13]

I know how it's been turned evil. But why so many civilized developed scientific people still regard it as an evil or dangerous number?

 

So many corporates have no building no 13 or neither 13th floor! Silly humans! BTW, I love that number

lol... 

 

Friday the thirteenth of October 1307: This was the day a big scam happened and the rulers or whatever(I don't wanna name names for obvious reasons) made a propaganda that some evil would arrive that day. They actually trapped their enemies and named them "evil" and killed them.

 

Since then, people started believing that something bad follows 13th... and eventually 13 is termed "Bad Omen"

The number 13 is considered an unlucky number in some countries.^[7] The end of the Mayan calendar's 13th Baktun was superstitiously feared as a harbinger of the apocalyptic 2012 phenomenon.^[8] Fear of the number 13 has a specifically recognized phobia, Triskaidekaphobia, a word coined in 1911. The superstitious sufferers of triskaidekaphobia try to avoid bad luck by keeping away from anything numbered or labelled thirteen. As a result, companies and manufacturers use another way of numbering or labeling to avoid the number, with hotels and tall buildings being conspicuous examples (thirteenth floor).^[9] It's also considered unlucky to have thirteen guests at a table. Friday the 13th has been considered the unluckiest day of the month. ^[7]

There is a number of theories behind the cause of the association between thirteen and bad luck, but none of them have been accepted as likely.^[7]

• The Last Supper: At Jesus Christ's last supper, there were thirteen people around the table, counting Christ and the twelve apostles. Some believe this is unlucky because one of those thirteen, Judas Iscariot, was the betrayer of Jesus Christ.
• Knights Templar: On Friday 13 October 1307, King Philip IV of France ordered the arrest of the Knights Templar,^[7] and most of the knights were tortured and killed.
• Full moons: A year with 13 full moons instead of 12 posed problems for the monks in charge of the calendars. "This was considered a very unfortunate circumstance, especially by the monks who had charge of the calendar of thirteen months for that year, and it upset the regular arrangement of church festivals. For this reason thirteen came to be considered an unlucky number."^[10] However, a typical century has about 37 years that have 13 full moons, compared to 63 years with 12 full moons, and typically every third or fourth year has 13 full moons.^[11]
• A repressed lunar cult: In ancient cultures, the number 13 represented femininity, because it corresponded to the number of lunar (menstrual) cycles in a year (13 x 28 = 364 days). The theory is that, as the solar calendar triumphed over the lunar, the number thirteen became anathema.^[7][12]
