Thought for the day

  • Current estimates place the number of Americans with triskaidekaphobia - more properly known as paraskevidekatriaphobia / paraskavedekatriaphobia at approx. 21 million, or 8% of the population
  • In 1993 the British Medical Journal found that traffic accidents were 52% more likely on Friday 13th, despite the traffic volume being consistently less.

Seriously: there's empirical problems with the study, granted, given the arbitrary comparison of Friday 6th with Friday 13th without accounting for other external variables which would influence traffic volume and driving behaviour, but I thought it was interesting.

I so didn't need to know that.

'Seriously?' as in 'You're seriously wasting your time on this crap?'. Not 'Tell me everything you know about Friday the 13th', dorkface.
