Dan K. asked:

"Friends

Please permit my cross-cultural ignorance but why is Friday 13th such a 
"bad luck" day?"

In Christian ideology, the number 13 is bad because they say the 13th guest at the
dinner table sold out their Big Guy. Coupled that with the fact that the date occurs
infrequently on Fridays (also a day laden with religious portent) and you've got the
recipe for B-movie horrors.
