Is it bad that my doctor's office is located on Terminal Drive?

I once heard of an old people's home on St. Peter's Close.

At least you weren't treated on October 13th in room 130 of a hospital, like my Dad once was.

You know the Russians changed their highway 666 to... you guessed it... 616! And there is no seat 666 in the European Parliament

I once visited a bird sanctuary. It was owned by a couple named Crowe, and employed at least one of each of the following; Sparrow, Starling, Peacock, Robbins, Fowler and Dickie Bird. After I laughed my arse off, they admitted to being quite amused themselves when they first figured it out.

Also, I once knew a guy who lived in Rapist's Crescent. Needless to say he never told women that, and the cuoncil eventually changed the name. However, it took about five petitions. don't ask me why.

One of my many phone numbers contains "13 13". My mother was born on a Friday, 13th.
My first flight was with a plane piloted by captain "Bird" (well, "Pasare" = bird).
My father's phone number contains 666. :p

Why did #13 get such a bad rap anyway?

The last supper in the Bible. :)
I'm pretty sure the Bible itself didn't say anything about it, but people interpreted it as unlucky because of that. IIRC some later superstitions from different sources also contributed.

12 is considered a number of order and completion, so adding one more to that represents chaos and rebellion.

6 is the number of man and wordiness, representing how we fall short of the godly perfection represented by 7. 13 is the 6th prime number.

6 is bad because it is the only star shape with number of points >= 5 which can't be drawn by a point to point traversal without lifting your pen off the paper. It is perfect though ;)

Damn, that would have been awesome. I just recalled that I knew a guy who owned a dog kennel who was named Caleb Walker. Unless I've been lied to, Caleb means dog or wolf.

Since my birth, there is a huge birthmark on my forehead in the shape of the number 666. Is this a bad omen?

Only if you also have horns, a pointy tail and cloven hooves.

Cloven hooves? Maybe...the other parts fell victim to a cosmetic surgery last fall.

What is that, Modern Hebrew, or some other language? Definitely not ancient/biblical hebrew, in that there is only one word for prostitute (which applies to men as well as women), 'זונה' (Zayin, Vav, Nun, Hey), (pronounced Zonah).
