In Latin, septem means "seven" and septimus means "seventh"; September was in fact the seventh month of the Roman calendar until 153 BC, when the first month changed from Kalendas Martius (1 March) to Kalendas Januarius (1 January).

Sip of the Day: Portrait Photos: Posing Techniques

Titera's Tidbit: Motley
Something "motley", in the past, was something whose fur or skin was mottled, of different colors. Further in the past, that something was specifically a weasel, called mustela, "big mouse", in Latin. A "motley" crew, in that view, would have been a weasely bunch of lads, not far from its current sense of riff-raff, or at least raffishness.
