    My mind works in mysterious ways. Accept it and save yourself the trouble of messing with nits. Nasty little things.

    Speaking of nasty things...

    Aeschylus

    (the original tragedian, the first to establish the basic rules of tragic drama, and inventor of the trilogy) ;)

    virus

    (Also ...

    *klaxon!* :eek: Sorry, but I'm not sure what this has to do with Aeschylus. ;) The well-known phrase Timeō Danaōs et dōna ferentēs, paraphrased in English as "I fear the Greeks even when bearing gifts", is a Latin phrase from Aeneid, a Latin epic poem written by Virgil, hundreds of years after Aeschylus.

    In fact, why should the Greeks suggest that other people should beware of them? It spoils the surprise when they do invade somewhere. ;)

    Sorry to nitpick!) *blush*

    Rath, would you knock it the hell off? It's a game. One replies with the first word that comes to one's head, however appropriate or inappropriate it may be.

    Aeschylus was Greek. Ergo: Greeks bearing gifts. Does that suit you?

    He wasn't apologizing to you, Louanne. He apologized to me, and I appreciated it.
