I also just had a stupid realization. People become a TEENAGERat 13… thirteen… thirTEEN!
Why did society deem teenage years to start at 13, a number considered by a lot of people to be unlucky?
I always see people calling 13 an unlucky number, but most people don’t even know the reason why
if i remember correctly. i think that the unlucky number gets changed every year
Maybe, but that’s separate from what I’m talking about. 13 is always considered unlucky, regardless of the year
Is it because the Roman emperor Claudius was murdered on Friday the 13th?
That very well could be. The number 13 has been feared for a long time for a multitude of reasons, all due of which relating to death in some way. Some sources state that Judas (the disciple who betrayed Jesus) was the 13th to sit at the table. Others state that Loki killed the god Baldur at a party he was not invited to as the 13th guest. But one of the most prominent is the Major Arcana of the tarot, where death is the 13th card, which may have led to all the beliefs that those who associated with the number 13 will die. Or I could be completely wrong.
Another one is the following:
When humanity counted up their digits, having ten fingers and two feet, the next number was unknown. That number (13), symbolizes the fear of the unknown.
so are you saying at one point in time people didnt have toes?
No, the people just had really bad depth perception and couldn't see them properly at the distance.
(I don't know, I just read it in a book somewhere)
I disagree for 2 reasons 1. That’s assuming they used a base 10 counting system, which is not universal. 2. You would have to have absolute horrible depth perception to not be able to see 5 feet away from you, which is unlikely as our ancestors were hunters, they would likely have pretty good eyesight as to not die once something is further than 5 feet away (these guys threw spears and shot arrows by the way)
*sincere* Sorry, I was joking/sarcastic about the first part. I'm not quite sure how to convey that through text...
So, curious, how many of you guys are trick-or-treating.
I know PJ mentioned he'd likely have a simple costume, possibly skeleton, so I assume he is.
But I also know a lot of you are high school age which is where a big trick-or-treating drop off happens. (I think I last did it in freshman year, just a quick thing to the nearest neighbors.)
So kind of wondering if you're in that threshold or if the trend is keeping a longer trick-or-treating timespan amongst today's youth.

Nice. A dance in the gym or something like that?
Yes. Exactly. Did you do that when you were in school?

I think I went to 2 Halloween dance things back in middle school. And then the 8th grade dance.
High school I went to prom, but none of the others. Did end up seeing a movie with a friend one time where the idea of "maybe friends going to a dance" became movie night instead. It was fun.
