I Feel Better About Thorsday

Thursday.

Wednesday is your hump day.

Friday, gateway to the weekend.

Dumpy old Thursday, just marking time every week...BUT WAIT!

Thursday is named after the Norse god, Thor. Thunder in the skies comes from Thor riding his goat-drawn chariot through the heavens, like a GTO for a god.

Thor's hammer,when thrown at a target, returns magically to the owner. The hammer can throw lightning bolts, too. Thor's belt and iron gloves give him the strength to throw the hammer.

Thor likes to fight giants a lot. His wife and mistress are both giantesses. Go figure.

So why the goats? When Thor is hungry he can roast the goats for a meal. When he wants to continue his travels, Thor only needs to touch the remains of the goats and they will be instantly restored to full health to resume their duties, assuming that the bones have not been broken.

I didn't make this stuff up, either.

Thursdays look a lot more macho now, huh?
