      "Saterday" may have a meaning, but it is not the name of the day of the week (in English).

                No, but Wikipedia does: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_week[^] For English, most of the days are named after Norse gods:

                Monday

                Moon's day;

                Tuesday

                Tiw's day - a one-handed Norse god associated with single combat and pledges;

                Wednesday

                Wodan's day (aka Odin);

                Thursday

                Thor's day;

                Friday

                Frige's day;

                Saturday

                Saturn's day - the only day which retains it's Roman name in English;

                Sunday

                Sun's day;


                "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer

                  You may have just introduced me to my new favorite site :-D

                  Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

                      I don't get the point you are trying to make here. For me this post and your different replies just seem to be some kind of odd spam. Are you trying to up your reputation by posting some trivial questions?

                                    If someone told you that, I guess it was on satire's day. ;P
