I got part of greek history
My friend and his g/f went to Greece for 2 weeks and they asked me what I wanted. I thought they were going to Italy also so I asked for a rock from Pompeii. They never made it to Italy, but when they went to The Temple of Zeus they snagged a small "rock" from one of the pillars that fell at the Temple of Zeus.
I think it's pretty cool, but I bet a lot of people would be pissed because people aren't supposed to take that kind of stuff. Oh well, I don't care what people think. Nyaa nyaa... I got a part of the Temple of Zeus and you don't. :P

3. LOL
That's funny.
If Zeus comes to give me some shit...I'll kick his ass. I have those bracelets like Wonder Woman so if he shoots lightning bolts at me, I can block them.

5. But, can't Zeus turn into any form & figure?
He could be a dog that bites you...or a bill collector...or a thunderstorm that rains on you. If you start having bad luck you might want to re-think the souvenir! :scared: I'd still be nervous!

I woke up this morning, so so far it's been good luck.

8. Poor Johnnie
His friends try to get him the perfect gift and it's obviously cursed.

(Why else would we all be on him about disrupting history :shrug:)

See, Johnnie, the bad luck is already beginning.

Someday you must get to Italy and Greece...you will love visiting there, especially since you love the ruins...
