...Friday the 13th...
...Did you know...
Fear of the number 13 has a scientific name: "triskaidekaphobia"
And on analogy to this the fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia
from the Greek words
Paraskeví(Παρασκευή, meaning "Friday")
and dekatreís (δεκατρείς, meaning "thirteen").
"There are mysteries which men can only guess at, which age by age they may solve only in part."
Bram Stoker - Dracula
I would rather dwell in the dim fog of superstition than in air rarified to nothing by the air-pump of unbelief, in which the panting breast expires, vainly and convulsively gasping for breath.
JEAN PAUL - Titan
