Paraskevidekatriaphobia Yes, it is a real word and it means a morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th.
That is one big word! Please don't let this one be in the spelling bee . . . And here's a little something from About.com 13: The Devil's Dozen It is said: If 13 people sit down to dinner together, all will die within the year. The Turks so disliked the number 13 that it was practically expunged from their vocabulary (Brewer, 1894). Many cities do not have a 13th Street or a 13th Avenue. Many buildings don't have a 13th floor. If you have 13 letters in your name, you will have the devil's luck (Jack the Ripper, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, Theodore Bundy and Albert De Salvo all have 13 letters in their names). There are 13 witches in a coven. Interesting, eh?

Re: Paraskevidekatriaphobia To come to think of the 13 letters being in all those maniacs names, its either a coincedence(Cant spell that word!) or those men were chosen by Satan himself, that is too freaky!!!

Re: Paraskevidekatriaphobia Yeah me too. But there are patterns in everything if you look hard enough - so sometimes I don't because I would just be a wreck like the guy in Pi - that was a good flick! Or the ones who saw the patterns in the Final Destination movies. I mean seriously you could drive yourself nuts with all of it.

Re: Paraskevidekatriaphobia wasn't 13 a lucky number before?

Re: Paraskevidekatriaphobia These are freaky coincidences....however, they are not including this person's middle name. And Jack the Ripper, is probably not his birth name...
......unless he had a really mean mom who wanted him to become a serial killer.But still, it is freaky! |

Re: Paraskevidekatriaphobia . . . details, details . . .
It's much freakier when you don't look that closely at it - And tantraman I do think you might be correct about 13 being lucky to some? I mean when you get a baker's dozen it is 13 and who could scoff at an extra donut or other culinary delight?
