Just curious. [**tdn** ’s current thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=443062) got me thinking about it. I don’t necessarily care what month you were born in; I’m just wondering if any other Dopers share my happy fate. Not only was I born on Friday the 13th, but before we moved, my job was on the 13th Floor. And when I have to travel to the US Attorney’s Office as part of my job, the location I visit is most often on the 13th Floor there, too. 13 is my friend. Oh, and I feel the need to put an obligatory “Paging **Triskadecamus** …” here. ---

My oldest son was born on Friday the 13th, but at 7 pm so I think that cancels it out a bit. ---

Almost relevant - My sister had her 13th Birthday on Friday the 13th. But, she was born on a Wednesday. ---

I was as well. Friday the 13th. at 1pm, so that would be 1300 military time. ---

My niece wasn’t born on Friday the 13th but celebrated her first and seventh birthdays on one. Alas, her 13th birthday will be on a Saturday. ---

[QUOTE=Asimovian] Did your parents ever talk about being superstitious, or having friends/family that were? [/QUOTE] Only jokingly. I’m not much on superstition, but I have considered 13 to be my ‘lucky number’ on ocassion. My dad and I were talking about this a few years before his death. I was born at home and only he, my mother and the doctor were present. I asked him what time of day it was and he said around a quarter after one in the afternoon, but I’m pretty sure he was pulling my leg. ---

My grandma - she’s 92, so I guess August 13, 1915? At any rate, it’s her lucky number. ---
