I know 13 is supposed to be unlucky, but why Friday?

Friday used to be the day for public hangings.

If the 13th is supposed to be unlucky because of the number at the Last Supper surely the Friday connection is because of the crucifixion being on a Friday.
If you are superstitious that is.

Hmmm....a thread mentioning public hangings, and one mentioning certain music artists in close proximity to each other...

We could make Friday 13th great again! ;-)

My mum said Friday the 13th doesn't count unless there's an R in the month.
She was a bit of an expert on the evil eye and suchlike. But she didn't get burned at the stake.

"Any month's 13th day will fall on a Friday if the month starts on a Sunday."
