The "unluckiness" of Friday owes its origin to Christ's death on Good Friday. Good Friday—really "God's Friday"—is in some parts of Europe called "Black Friday." Scandinavians regard Friday as the luckiest day of the week. Gladstone, Disraeli, and Bismarck were born on a Friday. Sliipping returns of all countries present a much lower sailing rate on Friday than on any other day of the week. Friday is America's lucky day. Columbus discovered land on that day; the Pilgrims landed on a Friday; and Washington was born on a Friday. The Talmud—the book containing the civil laws of the ancient Jews—says that Adam was created on a Friday, sinned on a Friday, and was thrust out of Eden on a Friday.
