Today is the third and final Friday the 13th of the year. The first was February 13, 2009 and the second was March 13, 2009.  Three Friday the 13ths in a year is very rare – it only happens about once every 11 years. Here’s an article with more info about Friday the 13th, in hopes that everyone can avoid paraskavedekatriaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th). P.S. Fear of complex scientific terms is hellenologophobia.
