Not everyone has called this month January. Drawing on Brewer's Dictionary of Fact & Fable, I am able to tell you that the Dutch once named it Lauwmaand (frosty month) and the Saxons Wulf-monath (apparently there were a lot of wolves around, looking for something to eat, like Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother).
I go now to adjust my two faces: one Brad Pitt, one Rondo Hatton.
