Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
In Natter:
Nilly:
Ruth (the one who was the daughter-in-law of Naomi, and followed her back from Moav, and married Boaz) was a great-great-grandmother of David, so an ancestor of him, as well. And I guess it can be tracked down pretty much until the sons of Jacob (the tribe of Yehuda, or, well, Judas), and therefore all the way back to Noah or even to Adam and Eve.
Wolfram:
the tribe of Yehuda, or, well, Judas...
I think it's Judah, not Judas.
Nilly:
Then why is the guy who betrayed Jesus, who has the same name (Yehuda), called Judas?
Wolfram:
I don't know. Maybe that's the Greek version?
Trudy Booth:
Then why is the guy who betrayed Jesus, who has the same name (Yehuda), called Judas?
Because those people only had three or four names between them and we had to distinguish them somehow?
Seriously. Mary? c'mon...
amych:
Ah. So it's like Hec and Knut.
Nilly:
Maybe that's the Greek version?
Actually, that makes sense. They liked the whole "let's add 's' to end of names", IIRC.
Wolfram:

Like Angelus.
DX Machina:
So his full name was Judas the Difficult?
Nilly:
Like Angelus.

Can you spoil the Trojan War?

Only if you've kept it in your wallet too long.

psst! The Trojan Horse was a sled.

Didn't Robert Redford whisper to the Trojan Horse?

Sue: I think he remembers. But his normal upbringing has soften the homicidal kinks. It's a nature/nuture thing, really.
