Triskaidekaphobia Not For Jimmy on Friday Birthday
The Lebanon Reporter notes 13 year old Jimmy Coffman celebrates his Friday the 13th birthday, his second such celebration after 1969. Psychologist Dr. Charles Verschoor calls the superstition selective perception, while a psychologist in Miami-Dade cites daily adversities. Numerologist Vincent Lopez links dislike of 13 to numbers one and three, and mentions avoidance of 13 in buildings and seats.
