Happy Red Nose Day

Knowledge is knowing the tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Happy Red Nose Day.

And Happy Friday the 13th too.

Did you know that fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia?

Did you also know that the fear of the colour red is called erythryphobia, and the fear of noses is called rhinophobia? So we’re guessing the fear of Red Nose Day would be called erythrhinodayphiobia, and that the fear of Red Nose Day on Friday the 13th would be called paraskevidekatreythrhinodayphobia.

Or maybe not, the fear of trying to spell that may be too much. It’s tempting to create a phobia for that, but not that tempting.

On a lighter note there are some brilliant things happening today, including Red Nose Day so get your noses on and do something funny for money. Today is also the final day of Cheltenham Gold Cup so thousands will be hoping that this is just a superstition and the £500m (did someone say credit crunch?) collectively placed in bets will be winning ones! So when the racing starts today and defending champion Kauto Star faces arch rivals Denman and Neptune Collonges keep your fingers crossed if you’ve placed a bet.

Oh and if you still think nothing ever good happens on Friday 13th Black Sabbath released their debut album on Friday the 13th February 1970.
