V13 or V14?

[Lord Templar]

I have been wondering, and I'm not saying that V13 is coming out soon, but will it be called V13 or V14. I wonder if Badspot is superstitious or not, I think he wouldn't be, but its something to be curious about. Will we skip V13 (as a name) like elevators because its "bad luck"?

Feedback?

wtf is wrong with 13

He can skip the name all he wants, just like elevators. 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.

Elevators skip floor 13? What? Since when? And, why would it matter?

Atlantis in the Bahamas (Excuse my spelling) skips floor 13 in the reef tower.

Some buildings number their floors so as to skip the thirteenth floor entirely, jumping from floor 12 to floor 14 in order to avoid distressing triskaidekaphobics, or using 12a and 12b instead. 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.

It is considered "unlucky" by superstitious people.

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.

In honor of the fact that there were originally 13 states in the Union, items consisting of this number is a common motif in the seal. There are:
13 stars (in the "glory" above the eagle's head)
13 stripes on the shield
13 arrows in the eagle’s talon
13 letters in the mottos "e pluribus unum" and "annuit cœptis" (apparently coincidental; there are 52 characters on the whole seal, which is itself evenly divisible by 13)
13 olive leaves (by custom, not by law)
13 olives on the branch (by custom, not by law)
13 brick levels of the pyramid (by custom, not by law)
13 sides showing on the ribbons (by custom, not by law)
