Thanks for that great info.

My favorite two quotes from that "mother of all battles":

"Come and get them."
--The response of Leonidas the Spartan King to Xerxes' demand that the Spartans lay down their arms

"Good. Then we'll have our battle in the shade."
--The response of Spartan Dienekes when he was told by a native of Trachis that the Persian archers were so numerous that, when they fire their volleys, the mass of arrrows blocked out the sun.

Mel Gibson! Calling Mel Gibson!

The story of the 300 has always been a favorite of mine. I am sure Mel is a lurker. Night all and have a nice Turkey Day!
