Default Friday the 13th...true or false

Friday the 13th? How did this day ever evolve as a day some believe is "bad luck"? Understand some buildings do not have level 13th but Friday the 13th? Do go out too late? Don't ride? WTH "what the hell"....can anyone advise their perspective regarding this? Or is it a myth...

I playfully take it as my lucky day, and 13 as my lucky number. But I'm not too serious about it.

Its good in Southern Ontario in the summer as in a little town (Port Dover).
100,000's of bikes show up and the city is closed to vehicles except motorcycles.
Although it snowed today which cancelled alot of the guys plans to go there. But there are 2 more this year.

These pictures was abouta 15-20 min walk from the downtown:

Hmm. Idk. My day wet well. I have production based work and I completed 10 hours worth in about 7. Ordered tires for the front of my car on Thursday. Installed them yesterday. That was $267 but that had nothin todo with bad luck seeing as how cord was showing for the past week! Lol. Took my daughter to a birthday party after wards and was able to show up earlier then expected bc the tire shop finished early! Not a bad Friday the 13th!!!!!!

for thoes of you that really wanna know
so going back a few HUNDRED years....

knights templar times...

the church (pope) ordered that all the knights be killed /assasinated by the church's royal guard.. on friday october 13th ...

so all the knights throught the land that happened to pray on the same day and time would be killed..

some escaped or were running late for services (lucky for them) and they survived to carry on the duties of the knights

the rest died in a mass assasination throught the land at all the templar chruches

hence why friday the 13th was unlucky
