FrankJL Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Posted July 13, 2007 or more specifically, fear of Friday the 13th, which just so happens to be today Quote
pushka Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Oh yes!! Lol, I never noticed that...:) Quote
Iggy Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 Happy Friday the 13th everybody!! I have never had bad things happen to me on this day in the past. So to me it is the same 'ol, same'ol. Quote
Dr T Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 paraskavedekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia are the words for fear of Friday the 13th. The one you listed is the fear of the number 13. Quote
Annabelli Posted July 14, 2007 Report Posted July 14, 2007 So what is 13 in numerology? Probably bad omen. People who gamble on black 13 must be looking to lose and people who gamble on red 13 are sure to lose. LOL 15 is supposed to be the most overlooked number. But for many it is payday! Quote
