Wiki wiki wiki Wha?

I’ve decided to forgo my usual bitching and whining musings on the myriad of reasons I hate Mondays. Why? First because I’m a slacker who’d rather sit on my arse and complain than actually do anything productive. B: because why bother when Wikipedia has an entire page devoted to Monday. This cultural resource also features pages on the whiles of the wedgie, so it’s kind of like a Nuggets style field trip to the hallowed halls of the grand library at Oxford, nes pa? 3. In conclusion, meh…

For your perusal I submit the following cultural reference information ripped off from provided courtesy of Wikipedia:

MONDAY
In the folk rhyme, “Monday’s child is fair of face”
In Thailand, the color associated with Monday is yellow, see Thai solar calendar.
A number of songs feature Monday, often as a day of depression, anxiety, or melancholy. For example, “Rainy Days and Mondays” (1971) from the Carpenters, “I Don’t Like Mondays” (1979) from the Boomtown Rats, and “Manic Monday” (1986) from the Bangles.
There is a band named the Happy Mondays and an American pop punk band Hey Monday.
In the Garfield comics and shows, the title character hates Mondays, and is frequently harmed during then.
Monday is the most popular day to commit suicide,[3] call in sick,[4] and surf the web[5] in the Netherlands.
During July 2002, the consulting firm of PriceWaterhouseCoopers Consulting announced that it would re-name itself to Monday, and spend $110 million over the next year to establish that brand.[6]
(suspect this last one just might be a plant. Imjustsayin’)

  1. I'm going to try really hard just to surf the net instead of kill myself today. I'm trying to popularize Wiki over Google – it's so much more rewarding. So when people ask you about something you don't know, you say, "I'll Wiki that."
