January Trivia, Facts and Jokes
 
January Trivia
.
January is named after Janus, the Roman god of doorways and of beginnings and endings.

He is represented with a two sided head, one looking ahead and the other always looking behind. He symbolically represented that Rome was the first real civilization, looking back at those primitive cultures before them.


Some Roman coins showed him with and without beards, even occasionally with fourheads.

Pictures of him often look like an optical illusion, like the elephant drawn on your left... well kind of.
SaturnJanus is also one of Saturn's moons. It is way too small to see in the picture on your right, so we ask that you take our word for it.
January Prayer:
"Lord, so far today I've not been grumpy, selfish, greedy, envious, proud, or angry. I'm really grateful for that.
But in a few minutes, I'm going to get up out of bed and from then on, I'll probably need a lot more help."
