October is the tenth month of the year and its name is therefore derived from Octo, the Latin word for eight (as the vegetables in V8 well knows.) October is often preceded by September and sometimes followed by November.
There are 31 days in October, many of which are Wednesdays. (Wednesday is the fourth day of the week and its name is therefore derived from Wednes, the Latin word for hump.)
October is :
National Dental Hygiene Month,
Chiropractic Month,
Cookie Month,
Sausage Month,
National Book Month,
Computer Learning Month (which naturally go together),
and Sarcastic Awareness Month.
It also Vegetarian Month.
As a result of a U.N. resolutions passed eight years ago, October is no longer Take a Break from Tugging Your Junk Month (now celebrated in February) or International Patent Leather Shoe Appreciation Month (April).
There are 30 shopping days left until Halloween, 55 days until Thanksgiving, 58 days until Hanukkah and 85 shopping days left until Christmas.
Plan accordingly.
