    yeah, I actually saw Bubba working :shock:
    However, I have been doing the same thing. :shock: and haven't been able to keep up my spamage this week very well. It's kind of disappointing actually to have so much work that you don't feel you can blow off a few minutes posting useless things on the internet.

    Two little words.
    With these two words, two concepts were verbalized that have lived for nearly two and a half Millennia.
    They signify and characterize both the heart of the Warrior, and the indomitable spirit of mankind.

    From the ancient Greek, they are the reply of the Spartan General-King Leonidas to Xerxes, the Persian Emperor who came with 600,000 of the fiercest fighting troops in the world to conquer and invade little Greece, then the center and birthplace of civilization as we know it.

    When Xerxes offered to spare the lives of Leonidas, his 300 personal bodyguards and a handful of Thebans and others who volunteered to defend their country, if they would lay down their arms, Leonidas shouted these two words back.

    Molon Labe! (mo-lone lah-veh)

    They mean, “Come and get them!” They live on today as the most notable quote in military history.

    And so began the classic example of courage and valor in its dismissal of overwhelming superiority of numbers, wherein the heart and spirit of brave men overcame insuperable odds.

    Today, there lies a plaque dedicated to these heroes at the very site. It reads:
    “Go tell the Spartans, travelers passing by, that here, obedient to their laws we lie.”

    cool. Great background story on that and I am not sure I had ever heard that before. For myself, my location is directly related to my "title".
