Friday the 13th is considered an especially unlucky day. In Asia, 4 is the unlucky number. • While triskaidekaphobia is usually considered a superstition, it is also classified as a mental disorder in the DSM and some people receive therapy for it. • Sources: • https://www.merriam-webster.com/dicti... • http://www.oed.com • http://www.triskaidekaphobia.info • http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Triskaid... • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskai... • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13_(num... • Thanks to CrimsonCobalt for editing this episode! • https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8wv... • My Info: • Twitter • / theselcouthmind • Music by The Selcouth Mind • / the-selcouth-mind • Thanks for watching!
