Overheard

Reading to Marky about the spread of the Muslims across Europe in the 700s I say, "and listen to this- they named the Strait of Gibralter after a Muslim general.  It used to be called the Pillars of Hercules.  Isn't that interesting?"

Marky:  "Yes, the Greeks and Romans, well at least I know the Greeks for sure, believed that Hercules used that point of land to cross over to do his twelve labors.  Remember?"

Um, not exactly.  I don't remember a thing about Hercules from my grade school days.   I just say, "Sure."  :)
