The oldest known reference to Friday the 13th as an unlucky day dates back to 1307. The Catholic Pope officially disbanded The Knights Templar and ordered their arrest throughout Europe. The Knights were a dedicated order of Catholic Monks who had battled for Christianity and were known for their willingness to give their lives for their cause. They were arrested on false charges in a scheme devised by the King of France to gain access to their vast wealth. Over the next 5 years, the Knights were tortured and their Grand Master was burned at the stake in 1311.

Textures - Phobia of texturesPhobia of Textures - Submitted by Ilorabird
I don't even know if this counts as a phobia because it doesn't necessarily make me afraid, but when someone touches certain textures such as corduroy, burlap, dirty glass, chalk boards, seat belts ext... with their fingernails or toenails i loose it. My first memory is being 3 and scraping my fingernails on glass and freaking out... When I see this stuff my heart starts to pound and I feel sick but at the same time I really really want to touch the stuff, but if I do I have a full blown panic attack. I wear fake nails which I found really really helps...
