Perhaps you can put the above calendar application to good use for important business appointments or social engagements. Maybe you can use this program to do accurate and scientifically-sound research into some event of lasting historical significance. But, hey, if you're anything like me (May God have mercy on your poor, pathetic soul.), you'll have some momentary fun just goofing off with this program, typing in any ol' date that serendipitously comes to mind.

Personally, I find it interesting that my daughter (The Kiddo), her mother (and my former spouse, Ruth Anne), and I (ol' Brother Dave) were each born on a Sunday. (Of course, I knew all that before ever using this calendar. Oh, and just in case you were wondering, none of us were born on the same Sunday. 'Kay?) The odds that all 3 of us would each be a "Sunday's child" are, what, 1 in 7x7x7, or 1 in 343. Ironically, however, and completely counter to the assertion that "Sunday's child is full of grace," the odds that would have correctly predicted that the 3 of us would each be born a total klutz, devoid of any physical grace whatsoever, are completely and utterly incalculable! Why, it staggers the mind (while our bodies tend to stagger easily enough on their own, thank you, without regard to any cosmic calculations)! Imagine that. (I've been accused of being full of something from time to time, but it was never the natural grace of a Sunday's child that was insultingly cited as my probable filler!)

After using this online perpetual calendar, I can now report that my Dad, Mom, and both of my brothers, Larry and Darrell, were all born on a Thursday, the odds of which are 1 in 7x7x7x7, or 1 in 2,401. Whew! (None of them, however, were born on the same Thursday. 'Kay?) And my Sagittarian sister, Tricia, was born on a Wednesday, the odds of which are 1 in 7 — still less than even odds but, hey, she had to be born on some day of the week. Right? I mean, ipso facto: Tricia. Right? So why not Wednesday?

And so it goes.

If you, Dear Pilgrim, don't already know the day of the week on which you or some of your loved ones were born, use the calendar above to find out. Then, just for kicks, compare your/their personal traits with the following:

Ruling "Planets" Based on the Day of the Week of One's Birth

• Sunday = Sun (Sol, a star, center of our solar system — Sun day)
  
• Monday = Moon (Luna, satellite of Earth — Moon day)
  
• Tuesday = Mars (or Tiew, Nordic name for Mars — Tiew's day)
  
• Wednesday = Mercury (or Woden, Nordic for Mercury — Woden's day)
  
• Thursday = Jupiter (or Thor, Nordic name for Jupiter — Thor's day)
  
• Friday = Venus (or Freya, Nordic name for Venus — Freya day)
  
• Saturday = Saturn (Saturn day)
  

Traditional astrological lore seems to suggest that persons born on days of the week "ruled" by a particular heavenly body ("planet") may have some innate characteristics of that "ruler" regardless of whatever may be their Sun-Sign. Some plus and/or minus keywords would include:

• Sunday's child, as ruled by the Sun: Creative, bold, noble, proud, outgoing, and/or vain, self-centered, boastful, loud, overbearing
  
• Monday's child, as ruled by the Moon: Impressionable, kind, adaptable, modest, motherly, and/or possessive, smothering, maudlin, super-sensitive, inconstant

• Wednesday's child, as ruled by Mercury: Mental, communicative, logical, versatile, quick, and/or gossipy, duplicitous, unreliable, chatterbox, careless
  
• Thursday's child, as ruled by Jupiter: Honorable, expansive, generous, jovial, philosophical, and/or extravagant, conceited, hypocritical, sharp-tongued, fanatical
  
• Friday's child, as ruled by Venus: Affectionate, sympathetic, caring, social, artistic, and/or seductive, over-sexed, vain, vulgar, lazy
