legendary trap

Everyone's model for "getting inside"!

April 24, 1915 - Armenian Genocide

Homer Simpson: "Hee hee hee, no
one in history has ever done anything this clever"

I just like seeing "1184 B.C."

B.C.E. is just a little too politically correct.

@scarbrtj: Amen, er uh I mean...affirmative!

Please get your facts right.
It was Achaeans who went inside the wooden horse.

The Trojan War was between the Achaean alliance and the Trojan alliance. Both alliances consisted primarily of Greek tribes. It was in essence a civil war between Western Greek tribes and Eastern Greek tribes.

@JesusDeSaad: "The name Achaeans came to mean all the Greeks at the time of the Trojan War"

[en.wikipedia.org]

Proving yet again that the most clever ideas can be used over and over in many applications.

Hate to be picky - but isn't april 24th based on the gregorian calendar which came 1200 years or so later? In this age there was no standardized calendar so wouldn't it be impossible to convert it into a modern day date?

@Maksimir: forget converting it from a traditional calender format to the Gregorian model, start by asking yourself if we actually have the means to work out the precise day which it happened on...

@kirby822:
by mistake. Many Trojans and Achaeans were actually closely related, some leaders had siblings in the opposing side. In truth, the actual word Greek was used to refer to only one Hellenic tribe/state (the Grecos), and over time all Hellenes were called Greeks.

See it this way: North and South America go to war. It is an American war. Both sides are on the same continent, no side is less or more American than the other. And yet the USA is the nation everyone else is used to calling Americans.

Slow news day, or just another way to sound like Motorola by adding "modo" to everything?

@JesusDeSaad: 'North and South America go to war. It is an American war. Both sides are on the same continent...'

Erm...

@Step666: those pesky "ern" prefixes get ya every time. Or maybe he meant hemisphere?

I've been in many Security Conferences and speaking engagements, and absolutely love this story... ofcourse, the long version... Professors love to talk about viruses and other nasty things, and use these kind of stories to get your attention.... it works, LOL!

Damn...still all this vast intelligence and you guys still dont get it....this is more than a fanciful story and today's modern "trojans" are named that for a reason! C'mon people...scientific and intelligent coversation and dialogue is much more preferable to flippant jibes and low caste comments!

Cool it happened on my birthday thousands of years ago.
