You Would Know That...
The mister and I finished catching up on last season’s CSI episodes on Friday night. (If we didn’t have a DVR, we would be completely out of touch!) When the program finished we ended up on a channel showing the 1981 Clash of the Titans. The scene showed Perseus looking towards the shore of the River Styx with its entry to Hades and, of course, a monstrous dog.
“I think that dog’s name is Cerberus,” I said.
Jim looked at me incredulously. “I’m pretty sure it’s Cerberus.” I said again.
“You would know that because you’re a nerd.”
“Yeah, I am,” I replied. “I’ve come to accept that in my old age. I’m pretty much a nerd who always read too much…”
I guess after you’ve been married for 13 years you can say such things to each other and not get mad about it.

In Greek, is it more directly "Kerberos" (Κέρβερος) -- which happens to be the name of a common computer network authentication protocol. Now you have an additional nerdy factoid!
Wow...thanks for the ammunition!!
I would know that too, but in this case, he would as well :)
It's great to see you posting again, my dear!
Thanks, Mimi! I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I miss writing, but I almost have to convince myself to do it!
