Vendredi Treize

Vendredi = Friday
Vendredi si also the name of a character in Michel Tournier's novel Vendredi ou la vie sauvage (Friday - the primitive life). Robinson, the hero, finds himself stranded on a desert island after his boat sinks, and names a young indian he meets on the island after this day of the week.

Treize (pronounced treyz) = thirteen. Also the title of a long-running French comic book that started in the 80s, telling the story of a man who is found amnesic with a "XIII" tattoo. His investigation into his past is a web of murder and conspiracies suspiciously similar to the Bourne movie franchise. Official site here
