Systems for days of the week (that I can remember):

Continents, in order as the sun travels and I think Wednesday was Africa

Colors, ie.six divisions color wheel following the rainbow starting with Thursday and ending on Tuesday. Wednesday is color day. 

In both systems Wednesday was picked as the cusp day between weeks because none of us could think of a religion our group that made it central.

The goal of the discussion was how to specify days of the week as close to culturally neutral as possible. In the end we decided these systems and others were welcome as long as users of less common ones were willing to explain.
