friday is fish day for catholics, iirc. there's a pr wwi first contact type story, wher abos and anglos first started interacting in the north of australia. local priest came across king billy, a tribal leader he had baptised, billy had speared a cow and was roasting beef. the priest told him off for eating beef on friday. billy told him that the priest sprinkled water on him and renamed him billy, so billy had sprinkled water on the beef and renamed it fish.
