I want to know how "Tuesday" started.

I lurk here a lot and don't post very often. So I get that the Tuesday joke is about people coming on and asking dumb questions. But really, doesn't that happen everyday? I feel like I see it everyday. So how did Tuesday become the day?

    There is a backstory to it, but I wasn't here when it all came about.

    I haven't been around quite as much lately, but for the longest time every Tuesday was just filled with really dumb questions continuously throughout the day. There are stupid questions every day but for some reason Tuesdays were just ridiculous.

    I'm not sure of the backstory about it either but I do notice that on Tuesdays we tend to get more newbies and basic questions.

    I might be wrong, but I think it's a throw back to the old days with some of the older regs who participated on another board.  Apparently, on this other board, if someone asked a question that no one could really answer (like maybe asking when to test but offering no charts), the standard answer became "Tuesday."

     

    I might be wrong on the source of this-- so someone correct me if wrong.

    Nope, I think you're right.  Kdodge or CathyMD or someone recapped this for us just a few weeks ago.

    Kdodge made mention of the original story, but didn't say what it was. I definitely think some of the regs who have been around a long time could tell us.

    Woo-hoo!  ::flashes gold star::   I can't take credit for knowing this history-- kdodge recently recanted this story.

    So really it's not about asking a "Tuesday" question, but about asking a question that will have a "Tuesday" answer. Interesting...
