The sixth Wednesday in the month always falls on the 12th of never.

The third Wednesday of the month used to be Bank of England reporting day when I worked in a Bank.

Sheffield Wednesday is the only football team named for a day of the week.

Paul Simon wrote a song called "Wednesday Morning 3am" which was the title of one of his early albums.

"Wednesday's child is full of woe!" - Nonsense, I was born on a Wednesday!

Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, is the first Wenesday after Quinquagesima Sunday.

Wednesday in German is Mittwoch - literally "mid week"

In Latin, Wednesday was DIES MERCURII, which became the French Mercredi...

Nowadays, the best place to enjoy a civilised session on a Wednesday evening is at Chauncy Court, Hertford - see you there?
