http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteenth_floor
I just found this out that 85% of elevators don't have a 13th floor. This is the most retarded thing I have ever heard in my life. When my friend told me this nonsense, my first thought was, well it's still not as stupid as believing that we evolved from monkeys.

This isn't common knowledge?
Nice dig on religion there in the final sentence, way to bring a shitty blog full circle.

the people on the 'fourteenth' floor all know the truth.

This isn't nothing new O.o The condo i'm living in doesn't have a 13th floor

my dorm room was on the 13th floor my freshman year in college.
also, that number is baloney. 85% of high rises worldwide? i wonder how they managed to fudge that number for their article

yeah most of the people i talk to also know about this already lol i nice example of buildings avoiding the 13th floor is my very own uni library; it's suppose to have exactly 13 floors, but since the 7th floor is a mechanical floor, they just call it the mechanical floor and name the actual 8th floor as the 7th floor, the actual 9th floor as the 8th, the actual 13th as the 12th, etc etc
edit: oakhill you should add a poll in the op to see how many ppl know about this, i'm interested as well

Shouldn't using the word "retarded" be worse than saying believing in God is stupid?

Do not pass Final Edits, do not collect 200 esports dollars. Shouldn't using the word "retarded" be worse than saying believing in God is stupid? Depends on how it's used. If you added a line at the end of your post that said:
"<user> is retarded"
then you deserve some kind of ban. However, nonaggressive abuse of the word retarded such as "Social Security is retarded" should not, in itself, warrant a ban. However, it does reveal something about you to the community.

Oakhill's blogs were amazing, this is just dumb. I didn't think it was that bad though until the final sentence.

Ya but the belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree isn't stupid at all..
