Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

HAPPY TUESDAY
Did you hear about the explosion at the cheese factory in France? There was nothing left but de Brie.
I’m pretty sure the person who decided to put the first R in February also decided how to spell Wednesday.
In my over 50 years of broadcasting I had to teach many a beginner to pronounce both the damn R's! That and dubaya (double u) were the most common examples of sloppiness. Even the pros are sloppier than that now!
February is named for the Roman goddess Juno in her role as Juno Februa, and yes, the "r" is pronounced.
ReplyDeleteWednesday is a corruption of Odin's Day, it was sometimes spelled Wodin or Woden.
Yes, i like etymology, why do you ask?
Loved the funnies!
That's interesting info..thanks
DeleteEnjoyed them all but laughed out loud at Peggy the whore.
