An example is 1 Canada Square in Canary Wharf, the tallest building in the UK, which lacks a 13th floor. This is sometimes applied to house or room numbers as well. The same is also true of rows in aeroplanes. |

THere is still a 13th version and 13th floor. It doesn't matter if that isn't what they call it. THat is still what number it is. --- End quote --- I know, it was just a curiosity question.

... 13 isnt a unlucky number. The great seal of america, the eagle is holding 13 arrows. And a branch with 13 leaves. And 13 stars at the top that form a 6 sided star. And the 13 stripes in the american flag. My god. |
