My guess is that Ed is being facetious, but he's actually right - that's one of the more common explanations given. The most common explanation is that it's a corruption of older English "God(e)'s Friday", much like "God Be With Ye" was corrupted to "goodbye". I like the German name for it the best - "Karfreitag" - "Mourning Friday." _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
