If you're looking for some "webcam fun" then you are in the wrong place and probably need some kind of therapy.

The word "Tuesday", however, was derived from a wholly different religious tradition. Tyr or Tiw was the Norse God of War. When the Germanic Angles and Saxon's invaded England in the 500's they suplanted a culture that had been heavily influenced by Rome for several hundred years. The day, Tuesday, had already been named for the Roman God of War, Martius (notice in French, Italian, and Spanish - the word for Tuesday is still derivative of the Roman God - Mardi, Martedi and Martes - respectively). When the Germanic tribes conquered England, they laid their own lexicon over that of the Roman's so that the Norse God of War now supplanted the Roman God of War (after all the Norse God was obviously more potent). Thus they called the day of the God of War tiwesdaeg.

The word "Tuesday" comes from Middle English Twisday, from Old English Tiwes dæg ...Tuesday is considered either the second or the third day of the week, between Monday and Wednesday. The word "Tuesday" comes from Middle English Twisday, from Old English Tiwes dæg, a rendering of Latin Martis dies. The English and Scandinavian names are derived from the Nordic god Tyr (in Old English, Tiw, Tew or Tiu. In Swedish, Tisdag, Danish: Tirsdag, Finnish: Tiistai). Tyr was the Norse equivalent of the Roman war god Mars, hence Martis dies ("Mars's day").

Tuesday ("Tiw's day"), named after Tyr in both the North and the West Germanic languages (corresponding to Martis dies, dedicated to the Roman god of war and the father-god of Rome, Mars) and also in the names of some plants:

I have a slightly cockeyed view of this:
Moon day, e.g. Lunedi
Zeus day
Mars day (French) or Odin's day (English)
Thor's day
Frier's day
Saturn's day
and, er, Sun's day!
it's a bit of a hybrid. I'm sure everyone else is right and I'm wrong. Sob...
