Word of the Day: Triskaidekaphobia
Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13. Though it is not prescribed as a serious medical condition, people who experience triskaidekaphobia avoid seeing 13 and travelling on this date. Triskaidekaphobia is made of four ancient Greek components: tris, three; kai, and; deka, ten; and phobos, fear. It is believed that horror writer Stephen King does have triskaidekaphobia.
