Number 13th's History and Interesting Facts

Thirteens carry much value across a multitude of cultures and societies-- in fact, it designates the official age for children to become teenagers. With this, kids gain access to more mature movies rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as well as the ability to rent and purchase video games rated T by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) without parental consent. 13's also refer to the number of loaves in a baker's dozen, the thirteen steps leading up to a gallows or hanging tree, and the original American flag was designated with 13 stars to represent the first thirteen colonies.

With regard to religion, number thirteens are quite significant; Hinduism, for instance, organizes a feast on the 13th day for the peace of departed souls. In Christianity, 13's were once associated with the Epiphany as Jesus was believed to have received the Magi on the 13th day of life. There were also 13 participants at the Last Supper, with Judas Iscariot-- the disciple believed to have betrayed Jesus-- being the thirteenth to sit at the table. Age thirteen signifies maturity in the Jewish faith. Also, April 13th marks the annual celebration of Baisakhi, or the Sikh New Year, in Sikhism and there are usually 13 witches in a Wiccan coven.

It is popular belief that thirteen may be considered an unlucky number, as seen with "Friday the 13th" urban legends and the number's association with Triskaidekaphobia (fear of 13's). In light of this superstition, no Formula One driver in the highest class of auto racing has had number thirteen on his car since 1976. Italy's Campania region also uses the expression for thirteen, "tredici," to describe situations in which luck has turned for the worse. On the other hand, lucky number 13 remains a modern treasure for some-- Shaquille O'Neal, Dan Marino, Yao Ming, Steve Nash, Wilt Chamberlain and Alex Rodriguez are now currently wearing or have sported the coveted #13 on their jerseys.

Number Thirteens Quotes

I was a thirteen-year-old boy for thirty years." --Mickey Rooney (American actor, b. 1920)

I had a hard time in my teens. It's a shock to realize you suddenly have to look like Christy Turlington. Everyone expects you to have long legs and big breasts at thirteen. I wasn't very tall but I had a voluptuous body, to put it politely. --Fairuza Balk (American actress, b. 1974)

The big mistake that men make is that when they turn thirteen or fourteen and all of a sudden they've reached puberty, they believe that they like women. Actually, you're just horny. It doesn't mean you like women any more at twenty-one than you did." --George William Curtis (American author, 1824-1892)
