I am back now, and I have plenty of free time to write more time wasting random information for you all! I have got one exam left (OCR Graphics on Friday) but other than that I have nothing else to do with school now until my A Levels To celebrate I got myself a new laptop and now I just need to get a network up and running.

Anyway, I thought I would come back with a list of facts. With today being Monday, here are some Monday facts:

1. “Monday’s child is fair of face” (Supposedly…)
2. Garfield hates Mondays, even though he is unemployed.
3. It’s name is taken from the Moon.
4. Acording to all Unions, Monday is the first day of the week. Supposedly it makes them get paid earlier
5. Monday is generally seen as the day of misfortune, not Friday.
6. Monday is Montag in German (Moon day) and lundi in French (Latin for Moon).
7. Black Monday occured on 19th October 1987 and caused the average share to drop over 500 points.
8. The Russian for Monday is ponedelnik, literally meaning “after the do-nothing”.
9. On Monday 5th December, the first witnesses appeared at Saddam Hussein’s trial.
10. Monday, June 5th was the 25th anniversary of the first AIDS diagnosis.

There you go. Happy now?
