There's really nothing better than mixing a nerdy Greek mythology reference with LOLSpeak.
So, things have been overwhelming lately--I'm pretty sleep deprived, thanks to grad school, and just in general feeling like roadkill for a number of reasons, some of which are detailed in previous posts, some aren't. I had a professor this summer who was incredibly demanding and made my life pretty painful and at the end told us he did that to demonstrate that just showing up and not quitting was one of the most important skills you could learn. I'm trying to remember that, and not just check out, but there's nothing I want to do more than just sleep for the next several days.
My favorite character in Greek mythology is Laocoon, a Trojan who just really got a raw deal. In Vergil's Aeneid he said the now famous phrase, "I fear the Greeks, even when bearing gifts;" he was warning against bringing in the Trojan Horse. Then he was eaten by sea serpents, and the Trojans brought the horse into their walls.
