  1. For the first Olympiad of the 21st Century, especially as it's being held in
    the HomeLand, Davey figured they oughta have a new flag.

    ``Tread the Paths that Socrates Trod'';
    ``Bathe in Homer's Wine-Dark Sea''

    and all that jazz.

    So Davey sent Rogge what any Olympian ought to be proud to rally around.

    But to make it interesting, there's a little music.

    Who is singing shouldn't be a problem; nor should the aria.

    So to add a little twist to it, where and what year was that particular
    recording made?

    HINT: Milan, Teatro della Scala, 1953? Noperz. Nice try.

    I'll give a small prize to anyone coming up with the correct answer

  3. Don't the Greeks use that quaint, pre-Latin language called Greek?

    Yes, I considered that. But de Coubertin used Latin, and Davey, whilst he still
    retains a smattering of Greek from his skule dayz, is (a) stuggling with a
    version of GIMP that is badly borked text-wise; and (b) figured that nobody
    would savvy the text if he used Grik anyway, but figured most might be able to
    make a rough translation of the Latin.

    Davey appears to have had a remarkably wide ranging if somewhat
    classical education for rough American frontiersman. Surely he didn't get
    sent to a English public school ?
