That is logical, Inge?
Where is the 'first' feira?
According to the Bible, god rested on the Seventh Day—which it is, is of course disputed—Sabado [Sabbath] for Hebrews, Domingo [God's Day] for Christians, and Sexta Feira for Muslims.

Maybe,
the portuguese are more logical and modern, see the days of the week:
secunda feira
tercera feira

>> Hi folks! Ok, here is the Friday element quiz answers:
>>
>> The Question:
>> I am a ductile BCC metal and one of the few BCC metals that
>> has no ductile-to-brittle transition. My elemental name is part of
>> Greek mythology.
>>
>> The Answer: Ta - tantalum
>>
>> Bonus Points:
>> Name this metal's greatest attribute and its melting
>> temperature rank with respect to all of the metals.
>>
>> The bonus points answers: Greatest attribute is the tenaciousness of
>> its oxide and Ta has the 4th highest melting point
>>
>>
>> The winner is Joe Kane!
>>
>> And the really odd thing is that Guy Ramsey is awarded the "almost"
>> winner prize. Tantalum was named after Tantalus, the son of Zeus,
>> because the difficult efforts to get pure Ta separated from Niobium
>> (Nb) reminded them of the punishment inflicted on Tantalus by the
>> Greek gods for abusing his guest privileges at the Greek Gods parties.
>
>> The daughter of Tantalus was Niobe - thus the source of the name for
>> the element Niobium (which is what Guy submitted).
>>
>> Joe - you get Doug's desk but I haven't a clue how you will be able to
>
>> claim it.
>>
>> Everone have a fun and safe weekend
>>
>> Dave
