      Imre Salusinszky's commentary on the IOC's decision to hold the Opening Ceremonies on Friday the 13th is a fun, worthwhile read, as is this piece from National Geographic that notes some of the "theory" behind (*deep breath*) paraskevidekatriaphobia, or, as it's "more commonly" known, friggatriskaidekaphobia. (Say either of those words thirteen times fast.)
