Friday the 13th is a day that is associated with bad luck. The idea of it being bad luck can be traced back to the Middle Ages, tying back to the tale of the Last Supper. There were thirteen people at it (Jesus and his Twelve Apostles) and he was crucified on Good Friday. You can read more about it here.
In more modern popular culture, it's associated with this guy.
Hope you all managed to avoid him, as he tends to...not be a friendly dude. Got some weird thing about machetes and his mother and going all Mortal Kombat on people, yada yada yada. Appropriate that he ended up a guest fighter in Mortal Kombat X. Thankfully, this appears to be the only Friday the 13th this year, so if you got through this day, you're good until 2026. Hope your Friday the 13th was not a bad day. See you around!
