Tuesday is Tiu's Day... Who Niu?


Did you know that Tuesday is named after the Old English/Germanic god of war called "Tiw" or "Tiu"? Neither did I! I did know that the Latin for Tuesday "Martis" is taken from Mars, the Roman god of war. Any way you slice it, Tuesday means WAR! So, stop reading and start thumb wrestling! (One, two, three, four: I declare thumb war!) Be gentle with Merry. Maybe just hold her hand and giggle.
Thanks to pbase.com for the big thumb image. And a special thanks to George and Ethel McKenna for providing us with a sense of the thumb's scale. Cheers!
Love to you,
Da'
