"Octo" in October means eight. Makes sense.
I don't know about Thursday, i dont feel the same connection.
Well it did, then some assholes named Julius and Augustus had to fuck it up. Somebody should stab one of those fuckers
Common misconception.
July and August were renamed. The original names were derived from five and six. The extra two months that threw everything off were January and February. When 5-10 were named January and February didn't even have names, it was just that cold period when there was no planting or harvesting. There were a bunch of other changes to the calendar over the centuries before we got where we are too.
