Friday, английский
- The dies infaustus, on which old seamen were desirous of not getting under weigh, as ill-omened.
- It is widely believed that the reluctance of seamen to sail on a friday (see “day of departure”) reached such epic proportions by the eighteenth century that the british admiralty decided to take drastic measures to prove the fallacy of the superstition. they are said to have laid the keel of a frigate one friday, arranged her launch for another friday, given the command to captain james friday, named her hms friday, and sent her to sea on a friday. there was only one drawback—ship and crew disappeared never to be seen again, or so the story goes. this tale cannot be verified from admiralty records and is almost certainly apocryphal. (former merchant navy officer james logan claims it originated as a hoax perpetuated by irish comedian dave allen on one of his popular bbc radio shows of the 1970s.)
