Things You Just Found Out/Learned Recently?

True.

Sunday and Monday are named after the sun and moon.

I have been told repeatedly by different people through life that I don't learn.

Never heard of it. But now I'm going to look it up.

I just found out it's "Bump an old thread day" here at MoFo.

I don't think she looks like Arlene Martel. I seen a woman on Hogan's Heros who I knew looked familiar then a couple of hours later it hit me....she was T'Pring from Amok Time. She was also on an old Twilight Zone episode.

Arlene Martel from Hogan's Heros pictured below, she has an overbite but I'm not sure if the woman in the video did or didn't?

I thought that was every day?

Seems like it. I'm not complaining though, it's just kinda funny.

i like bumping old threads. i am the guilty party.

Yes, we never get to see her smile with teeth. But if you pause the Four Seasons video early on - when they have the one close up of her - whoever she is, she'd make a great Vulcan!

Also, keep in mind, the video is dated 1962 - this would be 5 years before the Star Trek episode (but only 3 years before her first appearance on Hogan's Heroes)... which might account for her looking a little different.

There's no credit for her appearing in the Four Seasons video on IMDB (but then, not much attention was given to crediting background dancers in 1962. Originally, I assumed the video was from some variety show, like Ed Sullivan, and for all I know, it might be.)

Darn you, Rules - I thought this mystery was finally solved... now you've created doubt and the case is open once again!

Usually, yes.
But in the case of this thread - I bumped it yesterday (from August - when I was also the last one to post). So I am the guilty party! (Punish me!!!)

Physical culture is what they called body-building decades ago.

I never associated it with being a "give away" as to one's orientation.
(As far as I know, Ahnold, Lou and Franco are all straight. Does this mean Joe Weider and Charles Atlas were...???).

I learned that LL Cool J rapped about Eli Manning.

Yes a lot of our days of the week are named after similar things

Thursday - Thor's Day
Friday - Frigg's Day ( Odin's wife)

The Sunday and Monday in German is Sonntag and Monstag.

Just as Wednesday sounds odd in accordance with the rest of the days of the week. Wednesday is just as odd in German, Mittwoch.

As Thursday is named for Thor, Wednesday is named for his father, Odin (or "Woden")...
it comes from Middle Dutch "wodenesdag."

Yes but it's odd in German because the rest of the weekdays end with Tag which means Day, except Mittwoch.

I learned German in high school 40 yrs ago.

That is odd. If I knew anything about the German language, I might be able to help, but I don't.
I write it off to Germans being weird (and I'm 3/4 weird by heritage... but 100% American... and staunchly independent).
