Subject: Dumb question - how to get day/month names from a date?

I can't for the life of me figure this one out. I know that the Date 
class has constants including MONTHNAMES and DAYNAMES, but I have no 
idea how to access them.

day = Date.today
Date.constants

>["MONTHS", "ABBR_DAYS", "DAYNAMES", "ENGLAND", "DATE_FORMATS", "PARSE_DAYPAT", "ABBR_MONTHNAMES", "ABBR_MONTHS", "ITALY", "PARSE_MONTHPAT", "MONTHNAMES", "GREGORIAN", "DAYS", "ZONES", "ABBR_DAYNAMES", "JULIAN"]

day.italy
>#<Date: 4907723/2,0,2299161>

day.monthnames
> NoMethodError: undefined method `monthnames' for #<Date: 4907723/2,0,2299161>

How do I access that constant?
