434: Saturday (Lördag) Feb 15, 2016

Vikings were actually quite clean, despite the misconceptions. Although in English and some other Germanic languages, Saturday is named after Saturn, but in Swedish, and similar in other Scandinavian language, the word is Lördag, which means, "day to wash". While their European neighbors to the south washed once a year, Vikings washed once a week.
