That will be a bad year, according to the Aztec calendar. And Nostradamus. The end of the world in 2012, according to them. So let's all keep our fingers crossed and toes crossed, light candles, chant to the four winds, burn sage, place acorns on our window sills and brooms on our porches, throw salt over our shoulders, avoid walking under ladders and hope and pray it doesn't happen.

I picked 'other'. 13 has always been lucky 13 for me. Good things have happened to me most of my life that are associated with the number 13. :)

I picked "other" as well for the same reason as Del. It feels lucky for me so hopefully my job interview will net positive results.

I'm only scared of it when it comes in October. Otherwise, it's just another day.
Um, David -- what's a "house haint"? Is that something I should be a-skeered about?

A haint is a ghost. My mom often called them haints. If I remember correctly, a house haint will enter the home and try to attach itself to a specific person. So it's definately something you don't want in your house. A broom on the front porch will ward them off according to superstition. :-\
