Ahaha, I guess that I should update it before it shocks me, right? I haven't got anything really interesting to say, though.

That makes thirteen entries, right? That's bad luck in some countries. Where I come from, though, it's four that's bad luck. What about all of you?

Thirteen is an unlucky number back in my home. Why is four considered unlucky in yours?

Ah, Italy-san. Well, it's because one of the words for "four" sounds like one of the words for "death". Is there a reason why thirteen is unlucky for you?

Vee, really? No wonder it's considered unlucky!

As for me, it used to not be an unlucky number but it changed around the middle ages. It's because it all had religious reasons behind it and the fact that the number 12 is considered a "perfect" number, and 13 comes right after it making it a sign of bad luck!

The number four is unlucky in some parts of my world. It's been a long while since I've heard about that though.

[shiphated]

Not in your own country, then?

[loyal_cube]

No, not in particular. I've never paid much attention to it, although I wish I had. I know a lot of buildings don't have four floors. I'm not sure about the castle, though.

[shiphated]

Castle? What's your world like?

Sixteen is an unlucky number where I'm from.

[shiphated]

I haven't heard of that one. Why sixteen?

[stoner_ninja]

Where I was from, it was a belief that you wouldn’t survive to see your sixteenth birthday.

They called it a wall. Some people were lucky enough to get over the wall but not many.
