As long as we're on the subject of antiquity (somewhat.... TR did mention Plato and Aristotle in his last post), I heard a joke the other day while attending a lecture on homeland defense.
The person giving the lecture is a visiting professor at Rice, and told the story of a student and a professor in a Classical Studies course.
The professor looks at the student, and admonishes him, "Son, are you aware that by the time Alexander the Great was your age - twenty-two - he ruled half the world and had the other half in his sights?"
"Yes," answered the student, "are you aware that his professor was Aristotle?"
LOL, touche.
