" *I*'d like them well enough, but I doubt either Christians or Jews
" would (I don't know enough Islam to know about Moslems, though since
" they're a People of the Book I'd expect they'd feel the same way).

ironic, since in europe at least the names for all the weekdays are
pagan...  iirc we have the second babylon [of the jewish captivity,
~700bc?] with their fascination with numerology to thank for our
calendar.  but then it appears that this was when judaism was
formalized and organized into the old testament.
