Does anyone have paraskavedekatriaphobia? (the fear of Friday the 13th)

Less than 48 hours away! Personally, I find the date interesting, but I don't avoid doing anything...

Just a regular day for me. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Days/2.gif

A Friday occurring on the 13th day of any month is considered to be a day of bad luck in English and Portuguese-speaking cultures around the globe. Similar superstitions exist in some other traditions. In Greece and Spain, for example, Tuesday the 13th takes the same role. The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia, a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a phobia (fear) of the number thirteen.

According to Wikipedia, we'll also have Friday the 13ths in April and July 2007.

No effect on me. I am NOT superstitious!

I don't like the number thirteen -- it's an odd number, and I don't like odd numbers -- but I'm not superstitious about it, not afraid of it or anything.
