Times Square officials have gathered good-luck charms to accompany the unlucky number 13 that will light up when the ball drops on New Year’s Eve.

The 7-foot-tall sign in the shape of the number 13 arrived Wednesday in New York City’s iconic tourist attraction. The New York Post reports that 13 good-luck charms will be installed along with the sign atop One Times Square for the celebration that will ring in the year 2013.

The charms include a four-leaf clover, gold coins and a Buddha statue. Times Square Alliance President Tim Tompkins says officials want to assuage the fears of any superstitious revelers.

They forgot to include these!

It was only unlucky for the Templar’s way back (October, Friday the 13th.) People make their own luck.

I read my 2013 horoscope today and it's predicting doom and gloom which no amount of good luck charms are likely to banish.

The idolators haven’t been corrected enough, yet.
