I've just realized I'm in room 313. I noticed yesterday that the room next door is 315 and I'm supposedly in 311. But it's just now at 6:10 a.m. that it has dawned on me that it's this old superstition which has razzle-dazzled my room's real number.
Funny that in this day and age, with all the scientific discoveries and religious proclamations and whatnot that people should still be afraid of a silly little pairing of 1 and 3. Personally, I've always considered 13 to be a lucky number simply because it is such a psychological underdog. And Friday the 13th has never harmed me. But maybe that makes me superstitious, too.
