After ten years of war, Odysseus has had enough of that pansy fighting and decides to end it with a wicked awesome trick. He builds this gigantic horse for his troops to hide in with him, and they move all of their ships so that the Trojans won't see them--they'll think they've retreated. So the Trojans come out and find this huge horse, thinking it's an offering to their goddess of choice, and they take it inside their city. Once all the Trojans are drunk and passed out, Odysseus and his troops crawl out of the trap door in the belly of the horse and slaughter the Trojans. With this master plan, Odysseus ends the war.
This is a pretty great plan if you're fighting up against really stupid people.
Which apparently Odysseus was, because this war started over a pretty woman.
My dream journey would take me a lifetime to complete. I want to travel all over the world, getting to know practically every kind of society out there. I want to visit all of Europe, and from there go all over the rest of the world. I want to experience lesser developed countries and their more traditional cultures.
