Having Lots of Guests This Pesach? Invite A Quatorzieme!

MSNBC has some facts you should now about Friday the 13th, which will appear 3 times this year. Among them:
Mark Twain once was the 13th guest at a dinner party. A friend warned him not to go. "It was bad luck," Twain later told the friend. "They only had food for 12." Superstitious diners in Paris can hire a quatorzieme, or professional 14th guest. [emphasis added]

Hmmm, now there's an idea--just in time for Pesach!
