Friday 13th
I was wondering why Friday 13th is supposed to be so unlucky. Nobody could tell me, so I asked the Internet - cos it knows!!!

I found this link which has a not so nice story by way of explanation - a lot of anti-French feeling, which I'm not happy with. They do after all provide the world with some great wines, funny accents...

Friday 13th is all a load of superstition anyway. But apparently this has led to a fear of Friday 13th, so bad that some people won't drive or do normal activities because they're afraid something will go wrong that could end in maming or death. This fear is commonly known as Paraskevidekatriaphobia and I found this interesting because it could be considered a funny word. It's more funny looking than funny sounding - given that I don't even know how to begin pronouncing it.
