Tuesday, by the way, is named after the god Mars. "BS!", you might retort, pointing out, "if it were then it would be called 'Marsday' or some such." Ah, to that I would reply that the Norse people named it after their god of war, 'Tyr' and the Old English variant of Tyr was "Tiw's Day" which morphed into Tewesday in Middle English and finally landing on the Tuesday we all know and love.
