Naming Thursday - Thor's Day. The English word Thursday is named after the Norse god of thunder, Thor. ... Thor is represented riding a chariot drawn by goats and wielding the hammer. In most languages with Latin origins, the day is named after the god and planet Jupiter.

August 17th, 1969 was to be officially the final day of the Woodstock Music Festival billed as 3 days of peace and music near Bethel, N.Y. but ultimately it ran four days! On August 18th 11 additional acts performed!

Many believe it was the greatest gathering of 60's musicians and is still thought to be the greatest live concert ever staged.

At least three presidents have been "ambidextrous," meaning they could use both hands to write.

James Garfield, Harry S. Truman, and Ronald Reagan. Reagan, in fact, was reported to be totally left handed; however, he was forced at an early age to switch, quite possibly because of the old beliefs that left handedness was a disability!
