even then... Friday is more unlucky then the 13th, it wasn't until the 19th century that friday the 13th became a bad deal...

But they're the reason it's considered unlucky.

Lol, it's right there in that Wikipedia article.

Though, it says it believes it's a modern-day correlation, but I disagree.

The connection between the Friday the 13th superstition and the Knights Templar was popularized in Dan Brown's 2003 novel The Da Vinci Code and in John J. Robinson's 1989 work Born in Blood: The Lost Secrets of Freemasonry. On Friday, 13 October 1307, hundreds of the Knights Templar were arrested in France, an action apparently motivated financially and undertaken by the efficient royal bureaucracy to increase the prestige of the crown. Philip IV was the force behind this ruthless move, but it has also tarnished the historical reputation of Clement V. From the very day of Clement V's coronation, the king falsely charged the Templars with heresy, immorality and abuses, and the scruples of the Pope were compromised by a growing sense that the burgeoning French State might not wait for the Church, but would proceed independently.

Granted I can't take everything I learned in school and have seen on the History channel to heart, but still...
