Ok, let me explain how this works

You look at the clock, forum count (whatever) all the time. You instantly forget what number you saw as its totally irrelevant to your life. For all you know the number 2314 has turned up in your life 2000 times in the last month. You pay it no heed.

But, when you see 13 or 666 you remember it. So the next time you see one, you think why has this number turned up again. When in fact there are probably plenty of other numbers that are turning up in your life at least as frequently or more all the time

So ends the lesson for today

Im still undecided about the whole 13 is unlucky thing. I do tend to be extra careful on a Friday 13th though.

But its more likely that the reason things happen around 13s is that because people believe things will happen they actually subconsciously cause them to happen.

Like when you get half way around a corner on your motorbike and think you arent going to make it. As soon as you think that you are stuffed. You have to remain confident.

Stuff like that happen all the time, and deja-vu's and prediction that you made (even by joke) and come true and coincidents...they just make life more interesting, but u should make nothing out of it

Come to think of it, I was playing GTA:VC a few days ago, and one of my buddies was just on a rampage shooting everyone up with the chaingun. I was typing the cheat "NUTTERTOOLS" over and over to give him enough ammo. I'd typed it like twice in a row and decided that was enough for a while, and the total bullet count was exactly 1337. I thought that was pretty cool...

the number 13 and black cats crossing paths and all that happens to me all the time and nothing bad happens... I don't really do that whole superstition thing. Like Ironbuket said, it's all in the head...

Yes I can explain, but I thought you were God? Why do you need me to explain things to you?

Anyway... I already explained this, but I guess I will again

Q. How many times have you typed things in mirc without appropriate music coming on the radio at the same time?

A. You dont know, because you dont notice all the those other times. You only noticed this one.

As I said previously, you only notice events where things "match" or seem "significant". You instantly forget the millions of other times when your bank balance total didnt spell a word if you turned it upside-down. Its just probability
