Aangesien die Olimpiese Spele tot 'n einde gekom het, het een van my skerp vrinne dit goedgedink om vir my die volgende aardskuddende inligting te gee.
I recently came across some background information on the Olympics in Greece. And since the games are going on I would like to share it with you. If your Greek should be a bit rusty, you should not have a problem figuring it out.
Greek History
2500 years ago a slave call girl from Sardinia named Gedophamee
(pronounced Get-offa'-me) was attending the first athletic festival in Greece. This festival had no name.
In those days the athletes performed naked. To prevent unwanted arousal while competing, the men imbibe freely on a drink, containing saltpetre before and throughout the variety of events.
At the opening ceremonial parade of this first great event, Gedophamee observed the first wave of naked athletic males marching toward her and she exclaimed: "Oh! Limp pricks!" Over the next two and a half millennia that expression morphed into "Olympics".
Just thought I'd share this new found knowledge with you.
