July 13th 2007 06:14
Paraskevidekatriaphobia - try saying that 3 times fast!
Paraskevidekatriaphobia is the name for the phobia or fear of Friday the 13th.
It seems all that long ago we were going through Friday the 13th and in all reality it really wasn't. Only 3 months ago did this day which can strike so much fear into the hearts of paraskevidekatriaphobics previously occur.
Friday the thirteenth is considered the unluckiest of days, unless you were born on Friday the 13th. If you were born on this day then Friday the 13th is actually your lucky day.
Triskaidekaphobia on the other hand is the name for the fear of the number 13.
* More than 80 percent of high-rises lack a 13th floor.
* Many airports skip the 13th gate.
* Airplanes have no 13th aisle.
* Hospitals and hotels regularly have no room number 13.
* Italians omit the number 13 from their national lottery.
* On some Italian streets, the house between number 12 and 14 is addressed as 12 and a half.
* Many cities do not have a 13th Street or a 13th Avenue
