Is THAT where it comes from? I thought it was called Black Friday because once all the merchants of Bethlehem found out that Jesus was going to be born there they had huge "One Day Only" sales on Gold, Frankincense and Myre. The most prominant of these merchants had a striking resemblance to musician/actor Jack Black, hence the name "Black Friday".
