Funny, it is also the word for "send help, in distress"
actually, the call for distress is spelled differently, "mayday" and is from the french 'm'aidez' (help me)
"may day" is May 1 commemoration of the haymarket massacre in chicago
also there is a may day celebration of spring, a sort of pagan thing
