Triskaidekaphobia is a good word, but friggatriskaidekaphobia is a better one.

Probably not much, I'd say.


What must Arnold Schwarznegger think? Everyone else's opinion seems pretty bad including that of his oldest son who is changing his name. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/...rtainment/?GT1=43001

And, it gets worse. Initial reports said the secret had been kept for ten years, which would make the child about three years younger than Schwarznegger and Shriver's youngest. It now turns out he was born the same week as their youngest child--meaning he had his wife and housekeeper pregnant at the same time!

"The best activities for your health are pumping and humping."
Arnold Schwarzenegger

Perhaps he was a little too much into the latter. He needed to spend more time with the iron. Now that his career as a politician is done, he can star in his own TV reality show or he can join Charlie Sheen on tour.
