Of course he must have done, he must have started off with one at least... otherwise what would his umbilical cord have been attached to? All mammals have belly buttons as far as I know.

Yes, but they're fictional characters, so they don't count.

Clever, although the general consensus is either Sunday or Monday, I don't know of anyone that considers Tuesday to be the first day of the week; although it is possible it could change in the future, it's just as likely that the names of the days will change. I vote for Wednesday to be changed to Marsday (a little joke there for people who can spot it).

No, it was actually a reference to Mars, the Roman God of War. The name Wednesday is derived from a Latin phrase meaning Mercury day (Mercury being the Roman God of Business (I think)) and so 'jokingly' I chose a different God, one that starts with the same letter and is also a name of a planet.

A another useless bit of trivia, I've just checked Wikipedia and Marsday is actually what Tuesday is derived from (I thought Thursday was derived from it, but I checked and it obviously wasn't), so I now vote we change Wednesday to Xenaday.

What if the world ends on a Monday?


The concept of time won't have been destroyed so it will still be Tuesday the day after even if the earth does not exist to aknowledge it. If all existnace ended on a Monday then it might be different

The concept of time would still exist, but (assuming that all humans die with the Earth) the concept of Tuesday would now longer exist. The numerical values and words that we attribute to specific periods of time are meaningless beyond our planet, hell, even our own species.

Ah but there are millions of planets that we don't even know about.

OK, I was pedantic even by my own standards there, but I felt like being pedantic.

I never said it did, it was just an arbitrary fact that I thought of when you mentioned 'the average person'.

What?

How many legs do they have?

Does that mean that there are more people in the world with bits of legs missing than people with two legs?

It's a math thing. The most common number of legs a human on this planet has is two, but there are some with legs missing (either through some sort of amputation, or a birth defect), so when you add up all the legs, and divide by the number of people, you get a number less than two (something like 1.999...). There are of course a few people that have to be difficult and have more than two legs to try and balance it out, but their numbers aren't significant enough to overcome the number of people with less than two legs.
