Actually the whole mythology behind the number 13 and Friday came about because there were actually 13 people present at the Last Supper, or so I heard. It has something to do with the death of Christ, that much I know. And Christ died on a Friday, thus Friday the 13th is a symbol of bad luck. I believe there are some who also say that Jesus died on Friday the 13th.
It also symbolises something beyond, the unknown, like the whole clock chiming 13 times thing instead of 12.
