From Wikipedia:

"According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, an estimated 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day. Some people are so paralyzed by fear that they avoid their normal routines in doing business, taking flights or even getting out of bed. "It's been estimated that [US]$800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day"

Never knew there was a phobia institute? Sounds phoney to me;)
I don't have any fear of friday the 13th, I just make sure not to walk under ladders, and I knock on wood a lot just to be sure I'm covered:D Today I'm wearing my hard hat just in case some of that collided satellite space junk decides to come crashing through the roof of my house.:D

How is everyone else's day going?
