Any explanation[edit]

I cannot find any brief introduction about Black Friday in the article? Where does it come from? — HenryLi (Talk) 01:30, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From Friday the 13th:

There have been a number of events known as "Black Fridays" in history. Usually, these events are devastating. Some historians propose that the origin of the "Black Friday" was the simultaneous arrest of hundreds of Knights Templars on October 13 1307 (Friday), to be later tortured into admitting heresy.

I'm not sure a brief intro will be added to a disambig page. Though there's a bit of discussion also at wikt:Talk:Black Friday. --Interiot 01:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete Thought[edit]

This line seems to be incomplete:

"Black Friday", day United States Marine recruits are picked up by their Drill Instructors, after a week of receiving.

After a week of receiving what? I don't know enough about the Marines to complete this sentence. Can someone else? --Novac 08:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
