Triskaidekaphobia

If you don't know what that means, its the fear of Friday the 13th!!!!  Did you know we have 3 "Friday 13th"s this year. In the mood for more useless trivia? No? me neither.

When I was in grade school, I remember, Friday 13th was a pretty big deal. Something BAD had to happen. Your basketball team is bound to lose. Your grades had to turn out bad. To make it worse, I grew up in a small town in Texas, and even some parents believed all this crap. 

Some of these parents got out to the real world as well. Why else would there be no 13th floor on some buildings? Some airplanes have no 13th aisle. Its bad luck to have 13 people in a party. In France, you can hire a professional 14th person for your party. They are called  "quartorziens". 

 

Just thinking about the old stuff.. must be all the rain outside.
