What is paraskavedekatriaphobia?

A clue? It is something the English, German, Polish, and Portuguese-speaking cultures around the globe have in common. It is also similar to something in Greece and Spain, but there it occurs on a Tuesday.

Do you know what it is?

It is the fear of Friday the 13th. In Greece and Spain they fear Tuesday the 13th.

Do people actually have this? That is like knocking on wood, tossing salt, or crossing fingers... nobody actually believes that do they? or do they?

Angela works with a doctor that works with Doctors Without Borders, I think he was in Guatemala. Seems to be a pretty neat organization.
