Today is Saturday…Or Is It?

10.15.2022 by Fred Berman //

Saturday; think about it.  Saturday means different things to different people.  Or does it?
What is Saturday anyway?  Perhaps one of seven 24 hour periods ancient Romans named diēs Sāturnī (“Saturn’s Day”) for the planet Saturn, which controlled the first hour of that day, according to Vettius Valens. But is that a fact?  Are you sure?  Are you sure of anything?

What if everything you thought you knew about Saturday turned out to be a lie?  What if Saturday was just a figment of your imagination or perhaps a fabrication made up by your parents to make you miss school and get assigned after-school detention so that while you suffer the intense scrutiny of  the detention monitor they can do “who knows what” between 2:30PM and 4:30 PM without fear of being interrupted by an inquisitive child?  Does any of this make sense; I mean, from an asymmetrical linear point of view? 
Speaking of asymmetry, did you know Owls have asymmetrical ears that send sounds to the brain with two slightly different signals allowing them to pinpoint the exact location of the source with hearing alone?  See?  There is always something of value to be gleaned from even the most nonsensical post…or is there?

Question everything!
