Wait you mean there's more to memorize then this
The Greek National Anthem
Se gnoriso apo tin kopsi,
Tou spathiou tin tromeri,
Se gnoriso apo tin opsi,
Pou me via metra tin yi.
Ap' ta kokala vialmeni,
Ton Ellinon ta iera,
Ke san prota andriomeni,
Haire, o haire, Eleftheria!
(repeat previous two lines three times)
English Translation
We knew thee of old,
Oh, divinely restored,
By the lights of thine eyes,
And the light of thy Sword,
From the graves of our slain,
Shall thy valour prevail,
As we greet thee again-
Hail, Liberty! Hail!
(repeat previous two lines three times)
Maybe I'll be the first Greek to memorize all 158 verses

When the Black Death swept across England one theory was that cats caused the plague. Thousands were slaughtered. Ironically, those that kept their cats were less affected, because they kept their houses clear of the real culprits, rats.

Technically, rats weren't the real culprits either. Fleas were the real culprits. It was the fleas that carried the plague. And the fleas that bit people, thus transmitting the plague. The rats just carried the fleas around from place to place. Lots of people don't know that. But, it is just one of the things I learned from hanging out at Renaissance faires.
