TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA

Some words are really neat -- this is one of them. I just love the way it rolls off your lips. They should make a song with it as the catch line kind of like the Mary Poppins title song Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

This word is pronounced tris' - ka - deck' - a - pho' - be - a. Its big a combination of words all taken from the Greek language. About twice a year, its brought up. I'm sure I'll hear it today sometime. Of course, it means...an abnormal fear of the number 13. When the 13th falls on a Friday, its extra bad I guess.

Thank God, I don't have any severe phobias. I wouldn't call my little sports quirks, phobias --would you?
