Bad Luck: Friday the Thirteenth - The Scandinavian's believed that the number 13 was unlucky due to the mythological 12 demigods being joined by a 13th, an evil one, who brought misfortune upon humans. It was also said that Christ was crucified on Friday and the number of guests at the party of the Last Supper was 13, with the 13th guest being Judas, the traitor

Other cultures have such unlucky numbers, but not 13. For some it is number 4. It's weird artifact produced in many cultures. Like every culture have theories about origin of universe, men...etc.
