If you can pronounce triskaidekaphobia, you probably know what it is: fear of the number 13. This short piece discusses triskaidekaphobia, but mostly deals with Friday the 13th.
The author points out that 1998 was a bad year for people who fear Friday the 13: there were 3 of them then.
And, we learn, there are more to come: 2009, 2015, and, yes, 2012.
