#4 Medea is not an especially auspicious name for a hippie:
Medeaâs father, Aeetes, did not want her to leave Colchis. Medea escaped in the night to go with her husband, Jason on the Argo. Her brother, Absyrtus, came after them. According to the religion of Medeaâs father, it was essential to bury the bodies of the dead whole. To delay her father from following them and bringing her back, Medea killed her brother and chopped his body into pieces that she threw overboard, so her father would have to retrieve them.

#7 Carl in NH: The link doesn't work. From the comments, that's probably a good thing.

#8 I'm betting they have Sammy and his boys there. Bush sends all his buddies to go in and sock'em right in the b*ll sack once or twice. Then they get on the first thing smoking back to the good old US.

-Sigh- Finally, my tax dollars put to good use.
