Julio Caesar

The month of August is named after Augustus Caesar. He was found as an infant by a Roman vessel that had strayed all the way to Puerto Rico, and brought up in the home of Julius Caesar, for whom the month of July is named. He wasn't as acquisitive as his foster dad, but he had a stronger community spirit.

The Roman carvers did his mustache hairs too finely to survive antiquity, but if you look closely at his bust, you'll see traces of stubble under his nose.

The week days all have gods in them. Monday is for the Moon, I think. Tuesday is devoted to Gemini. Wednesday is for the god of welfare and square hamburgers. Thursday is named after the god of refreshments. And so forth.
