1.Triskaidekaphobia. It is the fear of the number 13, not necessarily Friday the 13th.

2. There is only one Friday the 13th in calendar year 2016.

3. 13 is commonly known for superstitious beliefs about it being unlucky. Originally it was a holy number but somewhere along the way it was hijacked and portrayed as unlucky.

5. Steve Buscemi was born on Friday, December 13, 1957.Without him, try imagining "The Big Lebowski", "Reservoir Dogs", "Fargo", "Boardwalk Empire" or even a recent Snickers commercial with Steve as Jan Brady. Scary are the thoughts of his not being involved in those projects.

6. Black Sabbath released their first album on Friday, February 13, 1970.

But you can rest easy because since then, scientists have revised their findings which show that there is absolutely no risk of the asteroid impacting the Earth or the Moon.

11. The 13th letter of the alphabet is M. Many moons ago Hell's Angels bikers would sew a 13 on their leather jacket as M stood for Marijuana and the M marker meant they smoked.

12. Now, M is for Mexican Mafia. Any real Mexican gang that lives in Southern California starting from Bakersfield and down all the way to San Diego should be affiliated with 13. But gang activity might eventually land them in the Walla Walla penitentiary...

13. ..whose address is 1313 N. 13th Ave in Walla Walla, Washington
