Years of research gathered, you can guess where, by our crackpot, I mean hotshot, team." It's our 13th edition, and to celebrate our luck, we have a page devoted to triskaidekaphobia, the fear of ten plus three. You'll learn why the number thirteen got such a bad rap. We thoroughly investigate the history of Dracula, the stories behind the biggest movie bombs ever, and the origin and unintended use of the I.Q. test.
