What's wrong with the number 13?

It's apparently gotten a bad rap.

One of the common reasons given is that there were 13 people at the Last Supper, and Judas Iscariot was the last (or thirteenth) to be seated.

In some cultures 13 is considered a lucky number. People are funny.

Which is why a change of perspective (in this case using a non-Gregorian calendar) is quite illuminating.

Because it's one more than 12.

Apparently, 6 is bad because it's one less than 7.

Math, it's bad.

Someone who is clumsy or unskilled is referred to as 'inept'. Why don't we refer to people who are deft and skilled as 'ept'?
