Friday the 13thHeb jij ook zo’n last van Paraskevidekatriaphobics

— people afflicted with a morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th — are no doubt pricking up their ears just now, buoyed by evidence that their terror may not be so irrational after all. But it’s unwise to take solace in a single scientific study (the only one of its kind, so far as I know), especially one so peculiar. I suspect it has more to teach us about human psychology than it does about any particular date on the calendar.

“Friday 13th is unlucky for some. The risk of hospital admission as a result of a transport accident may be increased by as much as 52 percent. Staying at home is recommended.”

Tjeemig had ik dat allemaal geweten, ik zit nu op mn werk, nu moet ik dus weer naar huis, hahahahahahahaha
