    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;

      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?

                OK I see now :) Thanks for your clarification.

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

                        Anything that could possibly go wrong in some moment, will definitely go wrong in the worst possible moment...
                        In the worst way that could be possible!
