The cursed Friday the 13th 
Is it some special day or just an ordinary day?
Nothing EVER happened to me on that day

It's just superstition. If something bad actually happened to everyone on friday 13 there would be uh...lots of casualties. I never believe in that stuff.

superstitions are retarded. I HATE that crap. There is no such thing as bad or good luck.
There is a bad day. (You are clumsy and alot of unfortunate events happen that day)
There is a good day. (Alot of fortunate things happen that day and it seems nothing wrong has happened.)
There is not bad luck.

Thats exactly why you and me don't get along, hammer.
Why couldn't there be luck? Thats like suggesting that there isn't a God, which is possible, but still.
And what do you think "FORTUNE" is? Sheesh.

I have before me the abstract of a study published in the British Medical Journal in 1993, entitled "Is Friday the 13th Bad for Your Health?" With the aim of mapping "the relation between health, behaviour, and superstition surrounding Friday 13th in the United Kingdom," its authors compared the ratio of traffic volume to vehicular accidents on two different days, Friday the 6th and Friday the 13th, over a period of years.
Surprisingly, they found that in the region sampled, while consistently fewer people chose to drive on Friday the 13th, the number of hospital admissions due to accidents was significantly higher than on "normal" Fridays. Their conclusion:
"Friday 13th is unlucky for some. The risk of hospital admission as a result of a transport accident may be increased by as much as 52 percent. Staying at home is recommended."
Paraskevidekatriaphobics — people afflicted with a morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th — are no doubt pricking up their ears just now, buoyed by evidence that their fears may not be so irrational after all. But it's unwise to take solace in a single scientific study (the only one of its kind, so far as I know), especially one so peculiar. I suspect it has more to teach us about human psychology than it does about any particular date on the calendar.

Fortune is a character in MGS2. Daughter of a proud soldiar. I would say her name but i need to play it again...
Anyway, ferral, *spits*(jk) its all superstitions. Fortune is coincidence. Its all coincidence. There IS NO SUCH THING AS LUCK.
you COULD refer to luck as coincidences that affect your day. Like good days and bad days-
You could refer to a good day as "I had alot of good luck today." BUT THERE IS NO FORCE AT WORK MAKING SURE UR DAY IS GREAT OR A HUNK OF CRAP!

Friday the 13th? Pffft. It's just a day like the other 364 (365 on leap years). As far as I can tell, nothing bad has ever happened to me on Friday the 13th, so yeah. It's just a flipping superstition after all.

But,
What if it had been cursed by Satan himself!
Dunt dunt dunt dun!
Oh well, guess this is pointless, I believe in Luck and Superstitions. I mean, I've closed a knife that someone else opened [if you do this act, your supposed to have bad luck for three days or some other fixed time amount] And, after I did that, I didn't catch a single fish that day! And my friend was like "LOL NEWB U SUX I ROX TEHS FISHYS SOX ROFL!!"

Are you sure you just can't fish?
But sometimes 'luck' affects peoples day. People believe that they did something that will ruin their day, and they ruin it themselves. Sometimes.
