    As far as I know this unlucky number 13 is based on Roman history. At some point in Roman history legion 13 was isolated and wiped out by an enemy force. And ever after that event 13 was considered an unlucky number.

    I am probably wrong about this. Legio XIII was one of J. Caesar`s favored Legions as discussed here:
    http://www.livius.org/le-lh/legio/xiii_gemina.html

    But I recall reading somewhere that Caesar insisted on creating a new Legio XIII in defiance of having said legion number being seen as a cursed legion. I can NOT find a reliable source for that statement. ...Oscar

    Why do we have a shirt (singular) and trousers (plural)?

    Because we have two legs but only one chest.

    Why do we only have one chest when we have two of almost everything else.

    Some of it is probable. I am sure there is petroleum in jello.
