	Random question #???? Why is it it called evening? Is day getting even with night during that time?

	It's actually got old germanic roots, 'effen' or 'eben' was an adjective base of 'to make the same' or 'to make similar', and the 'effening' was to make day similar to night. In old english it was pronounced efening. Now you can choose to believe me, or you can guess that I like the thought of 'effen' being a word.
