Default Re: And now for something Totally off topic :)

I'm probably being a little eggheaded here, but anyone here ever read the Iliad by Homer? It's kind of neat to see where some of the heroic tradition which our culture has inherited originally comes from.
Besides, the Iliad is plain fun to read. It's like a greek Version of pro-wrestling, only with better costumes and sharp instruments.
In a good translation its also some of the best damn poetry you'll ever read (it actually manages to maintain the poetry in translation from a different language, no less... amazing when you think about it), so I'd highly recommend it.
Anyway, just another egghead moment from an idealistic english student
