@NASAVoyager is 18 hrs 35 mins 35 secs of light-travel time from Earth (2016:086:120000:1L)  In 590, the Emperor Maurice proclaimed his son Theodosius co-emperor of the Byzantine Empire at the age of seven.

 

Believe it or not, it is one of the busiest shopping days around.  I worked at Mother Goose Shoes in Security Mall and this was the day we had to have all hands on deck because from the time the gate went up to the time it went down, it was crazy!  Everyone waited until the last minute to get the dress shoes for their kids and we endured long lines, verbal abuse when the style and size the parents wanted were no longer available,  and just other meanness heaped upon the help by the parents right in front of the kids.  It was a nightmare and we dreaded it far more than Black Friday; there was nothing holy about this day for those who worked retail.  And the sadest part?  The parents who would try and return the shoes in the next week, claiming that they "didn't fit" or "weren't comfortable" .  Invariably the shoes had been worn and there was all kinds of ugliness when we refused to take them back.  I'll give the store manager credit though, he was always willing to handle those cases and made sure his help didn't get abused.
