You know what amazes me about the whole Trojan horse thing??

How did the Greeks know that the Trojans would wheel the horse into the city?

I mean,....weren't they even a teensy little bit worried that the Trojans might be feeling too lazy to do the grunt work of pushing the big wooden horse into the city...and...like...alternatively get the idea of having a ripping big beach party with a burning wooden horse as the main attraction over which to barbecue goats and other goodies???


Couldn't agree more.

Privatos Klemisthenes: "And it'll be surrounded by an effing blood-crazy mob on the beach who think it's an offering to our Gods by our sailors, that we need to get home, and that destroying it might ~ just might, by Zarathustra ~ sink our ships?

"Well. Yah."

"Okay."
