The typical case of "fiat piscis".
Roman Catholics may not eat meat on fridays. Only fish.
(Meat of a pig or chicken is meat, meat of a fish is not meat... weird logic but don't care)
Every time monks, kings, riches etc. wanted to eat beef, pig, chicken
on friday, the priest (who
presided the meeting
- sounds familiar?? - ) said: "Fiat piscis!" --- Be it fish! --- then everything is OK.

In some high buildings (especially in US, by the way) there is no 13th floor. After 12th, comes the 14th. As if
numbering it 14th would make it really the 14th...
