It is, it is. If you can't look the other fellow in the eye when you're trying to kill him, well, I just don't know.

His fellow Spartiates gave him the business but he said, "I get so close to the enemy that they'll have no trouble seeing my emblem."

He probably was killed by an arrow before he even could come close.

Probably not. The archers would have gotten well out of the way before the hoplites started toward each other.

Also I am ruining my luck of getting this job by telling that I had 1st rounds of phone interview today.

And it happened hour after I left the application.

Oh, come on, they totally are. But hey, I'm a simple man. If I see chocolate, I have to eat it.

My favorite kind of chocolate has to be those custom-colored M&Ms you can get for 100g (or more). I would ask the staff to fill my bag with every single color. :P
