  A failed plot to kill Barack Obama,uncovered by US federal agents recently,has reminded people of the ideas that some humans associate with simple numbers.

  Two white American Neo­Nazi racists(新纳粹种族主义者)had planned to kill 88 African Americans,before finally assassinating(暗杀) Obama.The number "88" is equated with "HH", initials(首字母) for the Nazi greeting, "Heil Hitler"."H" is the eighth letter of the alphabet.

  Many people were not familiar with the Neo­Nazi importance of 88,but associations attached to other numbers are more well­known,if not always believed.The number 13,for instance,is considered deeply unlucky.

  In the US,many buildings do not have a floor numbered 13.They instead label it 12A,or use the letter M,which is the 13th letter in the English alphabet.New York's John F.Kennedy International airport does not have a gate number 13.And the popular Irish flight carrier, Ryan Air, has banished(摒弃) row 13 from all its planes.

  Last year when Brussels Airline put 13 dots in their new logo,the flood of complaints was so vast that the airline was forced to change their "unlucky logo" and add an additional dot.

The fear comes from a Bible story,which states that Judas Iscariot,the disciple(门徒)who betrayed(出卖) Jesus, was the 13th to sit at the table in the Last Supper.
