Homer's Odysseus spends his entire story trying to come home to Ithaca. Thign is - nobody knows where Ithaca actually is. Fascinating guest post from Honor Cargill-Martin

Has Homer's Ithaca been found at last?

Two scholars believe they have identified Odysseus' elusive homeland – shattering a longstanding Homeric myth in the process.

According to plan. Netherlands has all the possession, Greece has a goal. Disappointing that Tzolis was substituted due to hamstring injury. And the Greek fans in the stadium have no class.

It would be easier uphill if the bike had gears. I also had a fixed gear like this in the past. Cheap and simple, but I hated hills. I switched to one with 9 gears which is still simpler than most bikes, but can go up and down faster with less effort.

The correct approach to a job interview is a raktajino, feet on the desk, and a smile saying "I killed 100 Cardassians during the occupation, you are not going to scare me"

With a rifle you typically want to stay on target in case another shot is needed. So you don't let it recoil upwards like that. In snooker it's a foul if the ball bounces back and hits the cue again. You may have to lift it off the table to avoid, which this guy seems to do rather theatrically.

An Arab player of the Israel national team was sent off after imitating a snooker shot with a corner flag. It is claimed by the media he was mimicking shooting a rifle. Obvs by journalists that have never seen a rifle or a snooker pole in use. It is nevertheless an offense to remove the corner flag.
