Aww, I love the Labyrinth! I still have it on VHS. I wanted to be Jennifer Connely in that movie. She was SO cool.

And I agree Citizen, Mondays should be made illegal. We should ban it and just skip right to Tuesday.

Fridays are almost as bad, cause you waiting to go home, for the weekend to start...

See, I think Thursdays are worse than Fridays because on Thursday I sit there and think "One more day, you have to make it through one more day." While Friday, I can focus on the end of the week, what I'm going to do that night, my plans for Saturday. I much prefer Fridays to Thursdays.

Plus, for some reason, I've never liked the word "Thursday". Bleh. Certainly we could have come up with a better word for a day than "Thursday".

In the United Kingdom, all general elections since 1935 have been held on a Thursday, and this has become a tradition, although not a requirement of the law.

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, Arthur Dent says "This must be a Thursday. I could never get the hang of Thursdays".

Thursday is named for Thor.

In the Hindu religion, Thursday is guruvar or the Guru's day.

Quakers traditionally refer to Thursday as "Fifth Day" eschewing the "pagan" origin of the name "Thursday".

Well, as for me, I knew the thing about Thor, and about elections, and Arthur Dent (Huge Adams fan). But I didn't know the Hindus or the quakers, either. So I learned something, and that always makes me happy.

You're always one with the ready info or funny website!

P.S. It's got to be awfully late where you are. Should you not be sleeping?
