    Yeah, I'm a whore for Greek history. Haha, and as I see it, my youth is better wasted than never felt. Children and fools speak the truth, someone else once said.

    Cleopatra was - ethnically - more or less Greek (or Macedonian, depending whom you ask, hahaz), and the cultural and political events that led to her rulership are tied to the events of Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic era. She was descended from the Ptolemy dynasty; Ptolemy being a...

    Marcus greets lonely I-PR. He wonders where everyone is, and he hopes that the 05ers are coping with their exams and Major Works. It can get tough, but everyone makes it through - and that's the best part. Most usually do better than they expected; but in the end the marks themselves are...
