♥ Fear of Friday the 13th ♥

13

Fear of the Friday the 13th is called "paraskavedekatriaphobia". Find it hard to pronounce, then just say I have a "Fear of the Friday the 13th". LOL

I don't have this disorder but I guess I have a bit fear of the number 13, so I am triskaidekaphobic. Not really sure when or how it started, I just don't like it at all, period.

A few facts about Friday-the-13th:

1. Tall buildings doesn't have 13 floors, they always skip from 12 to 14. Hmmm
2. Hospitals has no Room 13
3. Airline Terminals have no Gate 13
4. President Franklin Roosevelt would not travel on the 13th day of any month and would never host 13 guests at a meal.
5. The number 13 suffers from its position after 12, according to numerologists who consider the latter to be a complete number - 12 months in a year, 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles of Jesus, 12 days of Christmas and 12 eggs in a dozen.

Today is March 13, 2009, are you afraid of it?
