This Friday could be a day of horror for numerology believers who dread the number 13, says a German professor, as cited by DPA.
Besides being Friday the 13th, the sum of all the digits in the numeric notation of the date adds up to 13, regardless of the order the date is written, says Heinrich Hemme, who teaches physics at the prestigious technical University of Aachen.
Hemme, who claims not to be superstitious, said this is the first coincidence since Friday, January 13, 1520. The next time the digits in the date will line up in a foreboding configuration is May 13, 2011.
