Thomas, this is funny! I would suspect that the people in your area tend to avoid this number consciously or subconsciously.
Agreed.
For a moment I recognized it as a suspisious fact.
As in: who would choose something number 13 if other offerings exist??
To hide some booty to be passed on?
A hidden message?
Hide something evil in there?
Then I went on and took it as a great photo opportunity.
