reader comments: paraskevidekatriaphobia

August 20, 2003
 I just read your updated entry on the fear of Friday the 13th. It occurred to me that there is another famous #13 that many people, especially in this country should be aware of -- The USA was started by 13 colonies/states! Now if that wasn't good luck, I don't know what is!

reply: This game (finding good and bad things associated with the number 13) could go on forever, of course, if you have the time.
