Weird old day this, of course only for the people who suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia. Damn, try saying that 10 times fast! Paraskavedekatriaphobia, the fear of Friday the 13th is perhaps more common than just the silly superstition you would think it to be. It's reported that over 21 million people in America alone suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia, sometimes staying inside for a full twenty-four hours. A sort of amalgamation between the fear of the number thirteen, triskadekaphobia, and the day when it is believed to have been Christ's crucifixion. Of course, none of this has anything to do with "Friday The 13th", it just happens to be the name of a bloody great horror film. Hurray for Mrs. Voorhees and her son Jason, happy holidays!
