I overheard a conversation in a shop this morning about the fact that today is Friday 13th.

A customer was expressing her nervousness about getting through the day without some disaster befalling her, the assistant replied 'Oh I'm not superstitious, thank god' grin

Triskaidekaphobia, that's what it is!

Is it the same in leap years, Nonu, when without the extra day that was stuck in to stop the seasons gradually drifting about it would be Friday the 12th?

Or maybe Friday the 14th. My brain is not very sharp tonight.
