Friday I'm in Love

Did you know that Friday in latin in dies Veneris, the day of Venus, goddess of love?

Turns out The Cure was more cultured than we all thought. And that the Romans loved Friday as much as we do.

That is so strange. I just learned that today from one of my eighth graders.

I was asking if they knew the date in Latin (ante diem vi kalendas octobres) but this guy thought I meant day. I had never really thought about days of the week in Latin.
