Triskaidekaphobiac.
 
I wonder if O.J was- see in TIO he got sent down for felonies exactly 13 years to the day he was cleared of homicide. Ha! I hope they throw away the key!

13 doesn't bother me nor black cats but I don't walk under ladders.

Me neither but...

It seems to affect rational people as well...Formula One racing forbid the number 13, Microsoft Office's suite jumped over it, Emirates A380 and A330s have no row 13 but their Boeing 777s do?:confused:

About 17 to 21 million Americans are paraskavedekatriaphobiacs, fearing Friday the 13th. What's worrying is their fears may affect others. For example, the British Medical Journal did a study showing that there is a significant increase in traffic-related accidents on Fridays the 13th.:ohmy:

Also avoid meeting with 13 people...superstition is that if thirteen people gather, one of them will die in the following year.

That's interesting about the incidence of rta's rising though.
Friday the 13th made me do a silly thing years ago...............I got married that day.
Wasn't a competent ground for divorce however:blink:

Sorry it didn't work out.

I won't be in the Greek Islands until retirement (7 years time)...I have a technical editor but need an 'artistic' editor to flower up the text and make it less technical and more appealing to a wider audience. So there'll be paid opening in the future with a few ouzos thrown in !

Anyway, must dash and have a shower...going out to the Hilton with friends for some amber fluid. TTFN
