Paraskavedekatriaphobia

Did you know that the fear of Friday the 13th is called "paraskavedekatriaphobia",a word derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή) (meaning Friday), and dekatreís (δεκατρείς) (meaning thirteen), attached to phobía (φοβία) (meaning fear)?  Now you do.

This is a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a simple phobia (fear) of the number thirteen, and is also known as friggatriskaidekaphobia.  The term triskaidekaphobia was derived in 1911 and first appeared in a mainstream source in 1953.

Personally, I consider Friday the 13th to be a day of good luck, however that's not true for many.  Some Frigga'n people walk around afraid the sky is falling.  Which reminds me, did the stimulus bill pass yet?

Back to back Friday the 13th's are rare, but there's another one next month. Today's your lucky day...I'm including a link to read More About Friday the 13th at Wikipedia...
