    So as not to spurn anyone's religion, you can go back to deriving their
names from the numbers one through seven (or, you can be really daring and
claim there are six or eight or ten days of the week).  However, you might
inadvertantly insult someone by, say, making the world's equivalent of
Saturday the seventh or sixth day, or whatever.  As for me, I always think of
days of the week in terms of colors: Monday's blue, Tuesday's white,
Wednesday's red, Thursday's yellow, Friday's green, Saturday's orange, and
Sunday's purple.  :)
