http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskaidekaphobia

Quote:

Triskaidekaphobia (from Greek tris meaning "3," kai meaning "and," and deka meaning "10") is fear of the number 13; it is a superstition and related to a specific fear of Friday the 13th, called paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia.

The term was first used by I.H. Coriat in "Abnormal Psychology".[1]

If I were rich I would offer $1000 in this thread for anyone who can actually pronounce
it without injuring their mouth.

I was born on october 13th at 10:13pm. My birth certificate says ten twelve, but mom told me when I was a child that the nurse "felt bad" that her baby was born at 10:13 on 10/13. Mom was pissed, lol. So I can't prove it on paper, but I get a kick out of it.

I've never understood people being scared of 13. It's the best one of the bunch

Trivia : I have never taken an elevator that had a button for floor 13!

That is a fact.

Anyone seen button 13 in an elevator?

Did you push it?

There are no 13th floors. The superstition runs deep amongst building planners.

The funny thing is, there are 13 floors, they just refuse to count it as a 13th floor.

I went to Navy boot camp on the 13th, and was put in battalion 13, company 13...talk about feeling fucked - fortunately I made it through 6 long years.

Nothing scares me much anymore - well, except maybe a few things...

Living in Phoenix and not having been in many high-rises in my life I had to google that.

Either wikipedia is lying to me and I'm the dumbass, or there are some seriously stupid fucking people out there.

Like the people that changed highway 666 to highway 999. or interstate. don't remember which one.

Believe it, go to New York City and visit a bunch of high-rise businesses and I seriously
doubt you'll ever find a elevator with a floor 13 button.

I lived in New york City for about six years and went every where and never saw that.

My apartment building had 12 floors plus the "penthouse" floor.
