[edit] Saturn picture
How about the picture of "Saturn" is not Saturn at all, but his father Kronos. Kronos is the father of Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter. These are his three children that lived, the rest were eaten by Kronos. KRONOS, not Saturn.
i'm going to have to agree with you
But,Saturn is Chronos. Saturn is the Roman form of Chronos.Dlmccaslin 02:09, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
so, saturday is not just the sabbath, but the day of rest for vampires? coincidence? i've been told before that antisemitism is intertwined in vampire folktales. this is just more supporting evidence for that theory.
[edit] NPOV dispute [Day of Worship]
The section does not meet with NPOV standards because it merely states that something which is in dispute amongst millions, if not billions, is a fact that can't be argued. It uses Exodus Chapter 20 Verse 8-11 as its proof, yet those verse say nothing about what day is to be considered the Sabbath other than it being the seventh day. Currently, and thoughout history, the seventh day has been considered different by different people, so while Saturday could be the Sabbath according to traditional American calendars, it could just as easily be Sunday, or even Wednesday, according to what someone actually believes to be the seventh day of the week. I suggest that the section just be removed, as it doesn't add anything to the article other than a biased point of view, and the previous section goes into greater detail regarding the dispute of the day in a neutral way.
Looks like that's no problem. It states in the text itself that the Jews use Saturday as their sabbath, that's good enough. Dlmccaslin 03:11, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Just noting for someone better qualified than me to fix... The article says that both Saturday and Sunday come from Roman mythology. But the article on Sunday doesn't really say that... It looks more like Germanic too (Sonnetag). That corresponds with the Roman Solis, but... So do all the other days of the week. So should this article say that only Saturday came from Roman mythology? Thanks.--65.95.79.131 20:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
The article states "Saturday and Sunday are the only days of the week in which the English names come from Roman mythology. The English names of all of the other days of the week come from Germanic mythology."
But in the wiki-page for Sunday, it clearly says the name for sunday is derived from the german goddess Sunne.

[edit] Saturday in popular culture section
- This section is structured like a disambiguation page. Not only that, but it's also a trivia section, which violates Wikipedia guidelines. Does anyone besides Zsero disagree? Anthony Rupert (talk) 00:10, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
