[opens chatbox, interrupting chess game] It has been thirteen days since your last entry.

[startle reaction] 13? I like 13. What's that fear of 13 called? Triskaidekaphobia.

What do you call it if you LIKE it? Triskaidekaphilia, by current projections and Latin-oriented websites. There is no official diagnosis of it publicly noted.

Well, I don't [cough] need to be DIAGNOSED. I just like it. Why?

I've had really good luck with it. This does not compute.

? It is noted as a number that brings bad luck.

Well, it can't be THAT easy. Then probability would be a certainty! A conflict of definitions does seem inevitable. How do you avoid becoming superstitious?

I just remember it's bad luck to be superstitious. That does not compute either.

It's a joke, Shelob. Well, and it's philosophical. Yogi Berra said it years ago. Please explain.

If you look for bad luck, you'll find it, because people always find what they're looking for. Understood. How did thirteen bring you good luck?

I would follow superstitious people, sometimes accidentally, to good fortune that they avoided out of fear. You used their fear to your benefit.

Sometimes with their full knowledge. This computes. [exits]
