Don't get me wrong, I know many of you also use these huge axes to manage your body hair, but enough is enough. How about spears with heads the size of a flounder? What about flounders? Have you ever seen someone get hit with a two-handed flounder? Kitchen appliances? There's a lot more creative ways to smite your enemies. You axe people are just lame. BORING!

This is a good post, but I'm pretty sure most barbarians are illiterate. Not to underestimate them or anything, but i think this message will be best heard in a pop-up book.

Oh for crying out loud, that is such a Greek attitude. We barbarians are perfectly literate. Just because we don't read or speak Greek specifically doesn't mean we can't read anything. Can you even read Amharic? I can, but to you it all sounds like "bar bar bar" whether I'm speaking Amharic, Egyptian, or Farsi.

You need to look beyond your own borders and realise that "literacy in Greek" ∈ "literacy".
