    It's bad luck to stand outside people's front doors taking pictures.

    I see it now. First I thought someone had moved the three over to the right for some reason.

    Mitch Hedberg talking about staying in hotels with no 13th floors.
    'People staying on the 14th floor you know what floor your really on, if you jump out the window you will die earlier.'

    The apartment complex I lived in last year had no apartment number 13 in any of the buildings!

    Is it Priory Hall? Maybe the first 10 houses burned down, so they were on the ball in updating.

    Many buildings don't have a 13th floor, so a mere apartment seems quite reasonable !
