I may have a Achilles high-heel some where in the closet.

 

For goodness sake, hypatia, let the birthday boy have his hijacking if he wants it that much.

Isn't that forhidden?

It was a pun on the name Verheyden and the word "forbidden".

Ok, you've made your point. My pun wasn't very good.

 

Wolram buddy, they're stealing your thread. Here are the cops to rescue it. Unfortunately they googled for http://mbhs.bergtraum.k12.ny.us/cybereng/shorts/lamb.html [Broken] :yuck:

 

lol Andre! Touché!

 

I'm guessing it would not be wise to say that everyone has an achilles heel anatomically speaking.

Being a bit philosphocial one may say:

"Everyone has an Achilles heel, and those that do not realise it have the most apparent of all"

 

The term "Achilles' heel" has to come from the story of Achilles. I can't believe no one used the term untill 1693. Are you sure this anatomist didn't merely name the "Achilles' tendon"?

 

On the same page, there's a Rubens painting, Paris doodt Achilles, depicting Paris shooting Achilles through the ankle/heel. I don't know when it was painted, but Rubens died in 1640.

I ?hurt? (it didn't rupture completely) my Achilles tendon once - I couldn't walk with that foot for a few days, but it wasn't so bad. I think I hurt myself more trying to hop and crawl around the house.
Anywho, PF is my only weakness. Well, there is something else, but it's a secret.

 

Kryptonite for me. (but don't tell anyone)

 

My other weakness is men in tights! :!!)
