Wednesday comes from the god Oden, or Woden-
it is Woden's day- saying it fast tends to cause the d to fade out.

It depends on the pronunciation. I pronounce it Wedensday. So it isn't silent. I add a syllable and you drop a letter.

Because it is derived from the nordic Woden's Day for Odin. I'm serious! check it out on wikipedia or something.
