Answer 2

Some cultures have associated Friday the 13th as a bad luck day. I remember the branches of Knights Templar was all attacked at once on the same day, which drove the most powerfull organization of the time into hiding forever.

But it's my lucky day, anyway. I've never had a bad Fridat the 13th. XD

Answer 3

Well its all about the 13th. People believe that thirteen is an unlucky number hence there is no 13th floor in any building. They have made it a ritual to say Friday the 13th due to the 11 motion pictures madeabout the mask wearing psychopathic ghost that haunts Crystal Lake every Friday the 13th claiming the lives of sexually curious teens. CHHCHH.CHHCHH.HAH.HAHHAH.HAH!!!

Answer 4

Absolutely nothing. It's just like any day of the year as in: Saturday May 24, Sunday June 3, Monday July 18, Tuesday August 22, etc., etc. Any day of the week falling on a certain date of a month has the same probability of happening as Friday the 13th. So go ahead and take a swim in a lake, bake your favorite dish, buy a Lotto ticket, have sex in the garage. It won't matter.

Answer 5

Friday the 13th is considered bad luck day

Answer 6

The Knights Templar were a powerful group of soldiers that practically controlled Europe.

Philip the Fair (as he was good looking, not honest) needed to bring them down, so a mass arrest of the Knights occured on Friday, October 13, 1307.

Some feel that this is where the fear of Friday the 13th began

Answer 8

Friday the 13th has always been regarded as a superstitious day, when bad things could happen if a black cat crosses you path, you walk under a ladder, break a mirror etc. I really am not sure where or how it originated but that is what is all about a bad luck day.

Answer 9

Friday the 13th is an unlucky day in much of Western Europe, North America, and Australia. Many people avoid travel and avoid signing contracts on Friday the 13th. Floors in tall buildings often skip from 12 to 14. And while the superstition is believed to be fading, it nonetheless has deep roots in both Christian and pagan culture.
The Day Jesus Was Crucified?

Many Christians have long believed that Friday was unlucky because it was the day of the week when Jesus was crucified. The number 13 was believed to bring bad luck because there were 13 people at The Last Supper. Since there were 12 tribes of Israel, that number was considered lucky.
Roots in Norse Mythology

Thirteen was also a sinister number in Norse mythology. Loki, one of the most evil of the Norse gods, went uninvited to a party for 12 at Valhalla, a banquet hall of the gods. As a result, he caused the death of Balder, the god of light, joy, and reconciliation. Loki tricked Balder's blind brother, Hod, into throwing a sprig of mistletoe at Balder's chest. Since mistletoe was the only thing on Earth fatal to Balder, the beloved god fell dead.
Literature and Folk Wisdom

During the Middle Ages, the superstition against Friday the 13th grew. On Friday, October 13, 1307, King Philip IV of France ordered the arrests of Jaques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templars and sixty of his senior knights in Paris. Thousands of others were arrested elsewhere in the country. After employing torture techniques to compel the Templars to "confess" to wrongdoing, most were eventually executed and sympathizers of the Templars condemned Friday the 13th as an evil day. Over time a large body of literature and folk wisdom have reinforced the belief. In the 18th century, the HMS Friday was launched on Friday the 13th. It was never heard from again. Since then, ships are not usually launched on that date. (Click here for other mysterious ship disappearances.)
Dinner With 13

It is considered especially unlucky to have 13 people at the table during a meal, such as in Agatha Christie's mystery novel, Thirteen at Dinner. During the 1880s, a men's group that felt superstition was an unhealthy influence on public life held Thirteen Club dinners. Those diners would have doubtless deplored Triskaidekaphobia, which is a fear of the number 13. They would also have looked askance at Triskaidekamania, which is an excessive enthusiasm for the number 13. (Take our Phobia Quiz (part I) on Triskaidekaphobia and other scary phobias.)

Answer 10

There have been a number of events known as "Black Fridays" in history. Usually, these events are devastating. Some historians propose that the origin of the "Black Friday" was the simultaneous arrest of hundreds of Knights Templars on October 13, 1307 (Friday), to be later tortured into admitting heresy.

Answer 11

For suspicious people, Friday the 13th is a bad luck day. It goes right along with a black cat crossing your path. For me it's actually a good luck day since I'm a backwards kind of person. I even saw a shooting star this morning! (oh yeah, there's no full moon today!)
