I had to read a book on Greek mythology for a project in high school. I came out of that scarred for life. :blink: *shudders* Luckily, I think my brain's blocked some of the worst stories out...

Then I went into a brothel in Pompeii with most of the paintings still intact. *twitches* The 14-A room in the Naples museum was even worse in terms of eroticness! ;)

That's was the beyond creepy bit I was referring to. It's quite sad that I learned that from a children's programme. :lol: I have read up on it since then. Bit of a hobby.

Aww poor Xaja *Hugs*. . . Then dont read the poem 'leda and the swan' by Yeats? I think. . . I was scarred by that *shudders*
If I promise not to kill you can I have a hug?

My favorite thing about eating gummy bears is that they don't fight back when bite their heads off

Teddies don't hug back, but sometimes they're all you have...

Joker: You know, there are three kinds of people in this world. The optomistic that find the glass half full, and the pessimistic that see it as half empty. Then there's the paranoid, and they just think someone's drinking out of their glass.

Corrigan: Huh, then which one are you?

Joker: I'm the one who knocks the glass over.

Lol, I love Greek myths, wonderful.
Books contain knowledge. Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Corruption is a crime. Crime never pays. So, if I keep reading, Im gonna go broke!

I love reading about Greek mythology. My favorite is Hades. Poor guy's portrayed as a bad guy yet he's one of the few guys that didn't go around raping everything that stood still long enough. Unlike some 'good guys' I can think of. *cough Zeus and Poseidon cough*

I am obsessed with Greek everything.

I mean the Romans just copied everything Greek. As my Classical teachers says, the Greek invented it, the Romans tweaked and named it a Roman invention.
I am currently taking donations, for Everton FC. I am afraid that our chairman has forgotten to cough up. So if you could hand me a penny and I will dance for you :P.

I am the monkey and you hold the box, so be nice with that. I don't want to dance like that!

She might be one of those who only read the parts with Legolas in it. If she'd really read the entire trilogy, she would be able to spell much better and have a decent story.

*whistles a mixture of songs* :rolleyes:

Roman history I love and Medieval(sp?) history too...but I HATE Australian history... 5 years of it is not fun... :(

It's a lovely little poem about how Zeus comes to leda in the shape of a swan and rapes her. . . not very pleasant.

Unfortunately the same cannot be said about Persephone :)

Hear Hear! not being unpatriotic or anything, but Aussie history is sooooo boring. I mean, who wants to learn about people chucking boomerangs at things for 5 years?

Elladan: You keep telling yourself that...
Me: That's it... you're going to die...SLOWLY and PAINFULLY

Erestor: *sigh* If you kill Elrohir, you will still have to deal with a rather irate Elrond. If you kill Legolas you will have to deal with Thranduil
