In some asian countries, the 4th is the evil day. Some buildings "don't have" a 4th floor. I guess the word for 4 in Chinese is the same as Death or something like that. Now doesn't that put it into perspective?

In Korea it's believed that if you sleep with a fan on all night, it'll blow your soul away. To the point where some manufacturers give them automatic off settings so you can FALL asleep with it on, but it wont STAY on. (and blow your soul away)

I'm pretty sure you can relax and just watch tv or do some computer stuff as normal.
I always thought it odd to not have a 13th floor labeled as such, so I am right there with you on that one. LOL

These others, never heard of those before, very interesting. Thanks for sharing those. People have some strange ideas and superstitions. lol
