Some of you may know, but.........
Who knows why today is called "Black Friday"?
and on a similar note, Do you know why it's called the "blackbox"? (the brightly painted orange box that holds the recording devices in airplanes)

The origin of Black Friday comes from the shift to profitability during the holiday season. Black Friday was when retailers went from being unprofitable, or "in the red," to being profitable, or "in the black", at a time when accounting records were kept by hand and red indicated loss and black profit.

Posted: 11/26/04 at 12:43pmWhy are they called black boxes? Well, it's either because they were originally painted black, or because, after the crash, they char and turn black.
