I believe that thursdays will still be thursdays no matter what we call them. They will still have terrible things happening during them, and if thursday was renamed "thing" then it wouldn't matter so I don't think I'll join.

In 1983, a special calendar was released by INFOCOM (the company that made the HHGG computer game) inside the package of their latest game (at that point) Zork Zero. It's days of the week were as follows:

Sand Day = Sunday
Mud Day = Monday
Grues Day = Tuesday (what's a grue? Find out: A843923 )
Wands Day = Wednesday
Birthday = Thursday (doesn't it just figure that the birthday of Dimwit Flathead the Excessive was on a thursday?)
Frob Day (tm) = Friday (a trademark of the Frobozz Magic Day Company)
Star Day = Saturday
