Q.	Dear Average Boy, What is your opinion of ancient Greece? I've been reading “The Trojan War” in school, and some of the stuff the characters are doing is real stupid. But I heard the Greeks were supposed to be the thinkers of their culture. What do you think? Annie
A.	Hey, Annie! My opinion of ancient Greece is that you can't go by the expiration date. I say smell it, and if it doesn't smell too bad, then it's still safe to cook with. About the Trojan War - I think that whole Trojan horse thing was dumb. First of all, who leaves a gift for people who just beat them in a war? “Thanks for beating us! Here's a big wooden horse!” Wouldn't the Greeks have been a little suspicious? They didn't exactly use their great minds when they fell for that horse thing. Especially since they could have just given it the tap test by tapping on the side to see if it was hollow. That's what I would have done. I would have first tapped, then got on for a ride . . . right out of town. Your friend and mine, Average Boy
