I use a desktop calendar that you rip off daily, usually so that I can write my tasks for that day and check them off as I complete them. This year I bought one with Latin phrases to practice vocabulary and basic grammar, ad for the past week it's been relatively normal — ego fidem meam malo quam thesauros (I prefer my faith over treasures) or maximus novator tempus time is the greatest innovator) — and then I got this today:
Remember, I'm looking at the Latin, which just says, "Day of the Camel." My eyes then go down a bit and read what they're aiming for. In my confused state I didn't connect "hump day" with "Wednesday." Instead there was a horrible, terrible moment of me picturing either people humping camels or vice versa, and me trying to remember if this was an integral part of ancient Rome.
