In the now pulled You Might Be a Kennedy if... thread, I was going to put:
You might be a Kennedy if...
Someone says 'pork' and you say "okay" without even bothering to ask which of the three meanings it could be.

Thanks.
I didn’t bother with the pic because that could be the Athens garbage dump for all I would know.

I'd be more intrigued if Ancient burial sites weren't discovered in Greece....

This article really confused me because Alexander's capital was Pella. This city was the ancient capital and became the royal burying ground after the capital was moved. http://www.macedonian-heritage.gr/HellenicMacedonia/en/C1.1.html
BTW, it's incredibly difficult to get reliable Macedonian history online. There seems to be a war between Macedonia (or FYROM) and Greece over who's version of history shall prevail.

And it probably was. ;-)That would be a good spoof. Go to a dump and compose some shots to make some garbage look like dug up artifacts from some ancient civilization.

the bones of Alexander the Great's murdered teenage son. Roxana's boy?

Roxana's boy? Dunno. Last I heard she was turning off the red light.
IOW, I don't know.

You made me curious. The product is named for Pella, Iowa, which was founded by Dutch immigrants. The name comes not from Pella, Macedonia, but Pella, Jordan, one of the Decapolis cities. They named it for that city because it was an early Christian center. It is, however, very ancient, having been a Canaanite center with a name sounding similar to Pella. But there is a legend the place was re-founded by Alexander the great and it was in fact a Hellenistic town back in the day. So, who knows?

This city was the ancient capital and became the royal burying ground after the capital was moved.Aigai was the first capitol, around the time of the Persian invasians of Greece. From wiki: 'Near the modern city of Veria, Perdiccas I (or, more likely, his son, Argaeus I) built his capital, Aigai (modern Vergina). After a brief period under Persian rule under Darius Hystaspes, the state regained its independence under King Alexander I (495450 BC).'
