There is a really short scene in Troy when the myrmidons take the beach it shoes AJAX boat with what appear to be slaves rowing.

The Greeks didn't normally use slaves as rowers on their warships at that time. Hollywood misinformation.

I think the scene in Ben-Hur is the one best suited to Rapier's question.

I just assumed they were slaves because they were dressed differently than what looked like the warriors of course I could be wrong just as easily as the movie could be lol

I wanted to play it when certain members of management here start complaining about what is and is not getting done when they are the one's causing work interruptions with their bad management decisions.

Doesn't the Mouse ALWAYS do it?  Or maybe he just always gets blamed for it...  ;) 


(although I suppose if he's doing it well then there shouldn't be too much reason to complain...)  :P

Rapier, I think you should just act out the scene for them, because you know visuals are always better than sound bytes!  ;)

Hey, maybe if I could get some volunteers from this crowd, come down to my office and leep out of hiding and perform the scene. Flashmob! Right in the middle of our operations department. That would be fantastic.

Oh, c'mon... you know it was totally his turn!!!  I mean, when was the last time he was allowed out to play?  (I think it might have involved Mouse and a firepit...)  ;) 

I can imagine your job has been pretty sucky today, since your whole inventory is listed in the database, isn't it?  Sorry...  :( 

Did you at least get some RAIN, though?!?  Maybe enough to knock out the burn ban for a day or two?



Oh, and Rapier... I would soooo join your flashmob!!!  How awesome would that be!?!
