A Terrible Thing.

I like adding up the numbers. When I was a teen, I was a bit interested in a numerology. Now, sometimes, I remember this amusement. I suppose that If I had have nothing to do at that moment, but I had would take out a sheet of paper and a pen. I wrote and write down my phone number and added up all its numbers. It gave me I get 49 or 4+9=13. Then I do the same to added up the numbers of my credit card's PIN. It gave me 13. The sum of my house's home address number and my flat's number. Well guess what? It came out to be 13 also.  is also 13.

I've lost my credit card. Was I surprised that when I had opened the envelope with my  and saw the new PIN...  Oh no. Thirteen again! 13. Recently I changed my phone number. Don't ask me about the sum. You know the answer already. In Russia, 13 is an unlucky number. In my life I have been upset, offended, disappointed, but I have never felt unhappy or unlucky. I don't believe in any superstitions. I believe in only in one omens. If I continue eating bars of chocolate in bed, I will turn into a happy hippo, and will see on my scales the number which will be more terrible than 13.

Good piece of writing.  The fear of 13 is such a western biggie that it has a special name for it.  Do you know what it is?  On a side note, I take 13 as my lucky number!  Mathematically, it is the first two digit prime number!  To me it represents the unknown frontier and my luck because as a kid, I don't have to remember my multiplication tables beyond 12!
