triskaidekaphobia: n [NL, fr Gk treiskaideka thirteen (fr. treis three + kai and + deka ten) + NL phobia--more at THREE, TEN] (ca 1911): fear of the number 13

That's the fun trivia word of the day, for all of us dictionary-reading geeks. It's fun, really. You should try it sometime.

I had a friend in high school named Katie who used to read the dictionary for fun, just to increase her vocabulary. I don't remember most of the words she had, but I do remember that she hated the word "cry." She hated the way it sounded, and it was crossed out in her dictionary. Heh. Funny the things we remember from grade 10. I have so many strange memories of little, weird things that aren't really that important; I just remember them really well.

Strange odd me. I was going to write about some of my weird memories, but I had an urge to do a survey. Call me crazy, but whatever. :o) I may lose that urge; I might not do one. But then again, I may.
