It shouldn't come as a surprise to you that I can read that, yeah?

Although it is a bit wrong, the exact "spelling it all together" should be: paraskevikaidekatriaphobia.

LOL *bangs head on desk* Still why would they call it that? It's obviously a european/english/latin/medieval whatever superstition and not a greek one. The greek day for this is Tuesday 13 (in greek it rhymes more).

::g:: They give a couple of alternate spellings at the end ;)
