So its Wednesday today

Well it was when I wrote this

What exactly does that mean I wonder

In old English Wednesday was called Wodensday

Named after the Anglo-Saxon god Woden

Woden was the leader of the wild hunt

His name was made from two words

Wod meaning violently insane

en meaning headship

The latin origin of today is Mercurii meaning day of Mercury

Mercury was the Roman god of commerce and travel

He was also associated with thievery eloquence and science

Mercury was the messenger of the other gods

So today you can either go on a totally wild hunt for something

Under the watchful eye of your violently insane leader

Or 

Travel somewhere and eloquently execute a fraudulent scientific deal 

Knowing that your leader will spill the beans

Civilizations evolve but today some folks behave exactly like their ancestors
