PHANTASM FRIDAY

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH!!!!

Did you know what "Triskaidekaphobia" means? It's a fear of the number 13.

I had a boss once that wouldn't leave the house on Friday the 13th for fear of what would happen. I guess he had "Triskaidekaphobia".

Ever notice that many hotels don't have a 13th floor, but skip the 13th floor and have a 14th floor? Why does the numbering make a difference? Even if it's named 14, it is still 13 regardless of what number it is assigned.

I don't get the superstition and in likelihood I adore Friday the 13th just because it's given a bad rap. I tend to cheer for the underdog team too...if I don't have a vested interest in the game or don't really much care either way. ;-)

Here's a small look into "Triskaidekaphobia" from http://www.dictionary.com/: http://hotword.dictionary.com/?p=1340 Is there a really good reason the fear of the number 13 was given such a tongue twister name? I mean, seriously!!!

How do you feel about Friday the 13th? Are you a "Triskaidekaphobia" or do you love the supersitious date?
