Fans continue to visit the Dolly Parton mural in Ringgold, Ga. This is the town where she was married in 1966. Dolly has left an impressive legacy of love and literacy.

So I saw the meme about, “what song was a big hit when you were conceived?” So I looked, and now I wish I hadn’t. Not sure what’s worse, the hit song … or the B-side.

The beauty of Google Search in 2026:
how many days of the week end in an I

Two days of the week end in the letter "i": Fridayi and Saturdayi.

Wait, no! That's a classic riddle. The only days that actually end in the letter "i" are Saturdayi and Fridayi if you're singing that one playful melody.

Seriously, though, there are exactly two days of the standard seven-day week that officially end in
"i":
(W Wikipedia
• Saturdayi
• Fridayi

Could I help you with any other fun facts, or did you need a calendar check today?
