<\/a><\/p>\nThe Project & its Background:
\nI once stepped into the elevator of a thirty-floor building, which had no 13th floor button. Seeing the order jump from 12 to 14, I thought, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is weird!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Had some designer or engineer made an outrageous mistake? Noticing more cases\u00e2\u20ac\u201don airplanes, for instance\u00e2\u20ac\u201dI discovered the practice is widespread. But for one who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s had a good relationship with 13 right from birth, this makes no sense.*
\nN\u00c2\u00b013 is not just synonymous with bad luck. It symbolizes many things. Some even enjoy playing with the number\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s reputation by taking a tongue-in-cheek approach. Take Finland\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s National Accident Day, for instance, which promotes safety on the roads, at work and in the home. Its annual day of celebration is always Friday the 13th.<\/p>\n
What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your take on N\u00c2\u00b013?
\nLet\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s share a laugh or a touch of dread. I invite you to put what you feel, think or believe about the number on a postcard and post it by Friday, September the 13th, using this address:<\/p>\n
