Thanks for that; I thought it was some joke I just didn’t get.

Well, it is.

Violet Tuesday (Veilchendienstag) is Pancake or Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras).

Nelkensamstag is named after the flower, not the herb and thus should be Dianthus Saturday.

Vulkan is made by a company called Khronos. And I think that's beautiful.
