Friday the 13th

The date on the calendar says June 13, which happens to be a Friday. Catholics are often accused by dectractors of being superstitious (even though superstition is a violation of the First Commandment [Catechism of the Catholic Church No. 2111]). But I wonder what kind of person really believes in the whole Friday the 13th hocus pocus.

If you're given to reading about it, the urban legends site snopes.com, dedicated to debunking myths, has an article about the supposed origins of the unlucky association with this day.
