Tue Tue Tue

After every Monday comes a Tuesday, and this has been the oddly mismatched fruit of barbarian calendaring. It used to perturb me that the moon had a day at all; it seemed counterintuitive. But who was Tue?

I learnt later that it was Tiw, also Tyr and such, who got himself a day. He's Mars in the Roman pantheon, which explains why the Romance languages have the same day called Mardi and suchlike.

Well, Tiw eats his own.
