Paraskevidekatriaphobics —
people afflicted with a morbid, irrational fear of
Friday the 13th.
"Friday
13th is unlucky for some. The risk of hospital
admission as a result of a transport accident may be
increased by as much as 52 percent. Staying at home
is recommended."
This
is from the
British Medical Journal in
1993 in an article entitled "Is Friday the 13th Bad
for Your Health?".
I'm driving to the Tachi Palace Casino
today.
Super! There's a big WEC fight
tonight and I'm shooting it for their website.
Yeah, so about this whole superstition thing, I don't
buy it. It ain't my bag. If it's yours, then you
should read this article. Oh, and there's
another Friday the 13th in October.
I'll be in my car if you need me.
