Friday + 13th = Bad Luck

13 is always considered unlucky. To spice it up if it comes on friday then it is sure that something bad is going to happen. 
For years together it is believed that combination of friday and 13 results into disaster. Any month's 13th day falls on a Friday if the month starts on a Sunday.

Historically, some very unlucky events were said to have occurred on the day. French King Philip IV rounded up hundreds of monks and tortured them for admitting to heresy on Friday, October 13, 1307. Some say Jesus Christ was crucified on Friday the 13th. More recently, on Friday, March 13, 1992, an earthquake in Turkey killed nearly 2,000 and left 50,000 homeless.
The No. 13 itself has long driven people crazy, in large part due to Friday the 13th.
