Moon Day, October 2

Cool little tidbit that could be used for extra credit sometime :)
The days of the week are named after the seven planets that can be seen with the naked eye.
Actually, with the exception of Monday (moon day) and Sunday, they're named after mythological gods and goddesses that are associated with those planets
English          Planet    Norse God    Spanish     Roman God
Monday         Moon
Tuesday        Mars
Wednesday   Mercury    Woden       Miercoles   Mercury   
Thursday       Jupiter
Friday            Venus
Saturday        Saturn
Sunday          Sun
