Random fact: Instead of Friday, Spanish-speaking countries have Tuesday the 13th, or "martes trece," which is also considered as a day of bad luck. The Greeks also have Tuesday, especially the 13th, and it is also an unlucky day. The influence of Ares, the god of war, is believed to dominate Tuesday. Notable events that strengthen the superstition about Tuesday: - The fall of Constantinople to the Fourth Crusade, Tuesday, April 13, 1204. - The fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans, Tuesday, May 29, 1453.
