It is that fateful day - Friday the 13th. What does that mean though, really? Did you know that there is actually a term for being afraid of today? Yep, there is - Paraskevidekatriaphobia: Fear of Friday the 13th.
(in)Famous Number 13's:
Apollo 13
A coven consists of 13 witches
Some believe that if 13 people sit down to dinner together all will die within a year
Fridays were the traditional days for hangings and there were 13 steps leading up to the noose
Eve tempted Adam with the apple on a Friday
Buildings avoid having a 13th floor
Myself - I have had a black cat crossing my path as I was going into a cemetery this morning...
But as Groucho Marx says "A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere."
