Even more importantly who knows which phobia is correct?
Friggatriskaidekaphobia
or
Paraskavedekatriaphobia
or
Triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13)
Kirsten informed me that the first is correct according to her word of the day 2009 calendar however in doing a little research (thanks to a quick google search) I recieved a different result and found another phobia centered around the number 13.
Honestly I don't care which one is correct but I just find it interesting and somewhat sad that people have a fear of Friday the 13th or the number 13. Also I would like to know how many of you can say either phobia title 10 times fast without messing up. If you can, call me and I will send you a free gift since everyone seems to be into free giveaways on their blogs right now. I make no promises you will like the gift or the gift will have any value whatsoever or that it will actually be a tangible gift but you get what you pay for (how is that for a legal disclaimer?).
Enough of this blog post I am off to Vermont for a couple days of skiing. Visit this blog again soon for the update on the trip as it has potential to be a great adventure (or atleast I think so).
