Did I mention I flig my Latin teacher?

I was seriously freaking out about my test today, but then I opened the translation document and read this: "This is the announcement of the marriage of Peleus, a mortal man, who marries a beautiful nymph named Thetis. They are destined to become the parents of Brad Pitt Achilles, the greatest of the Greek warriors. Their wedding is depicted on the famous François krater. " (Brad Pitt was crossed out but apparently we can't do that here) Day = made. And there went most of my test nerves lol.

Maybe. It's a kind of long running joke. She's referencing [i]Troy[/i]; whenever the story of Troy comes up (which is pretty often in a Classics class) she always refers to Brad Pitt instead of Achilles.

I laughed :P I like it when professors have a sense of humor.

I dislike Brad Pitt. He killed my favorite character in that film. Poor Hector. :(
