I don't see how anyone could draw those pigs with a clunky mouse. I certainly can't.

I couldn't ge tthe "let me draw a pig" part to work from where I am right now. The server firewall scrubbed it soemhow so it wouldn't function properly (didn't restrict it completely, just enough to tease me though) :cry: I forget what the official name of the system is but I think I'll start calling it "Lapdance" for the above mentioned reason :smile:

Odysseus


Toward the middle, you are a realist.


Facing left, you believe in tradition, are friendly, and remember dates (birthdays, etc.)


With few details, you are emotional and naive, they care little for details and are a risk-taker.

With less than 4 legs, they are insecure or are living through a period of major change.

The size of the ears indicates how good a listener you are.
The bigger the better. You drew large ears, you are a great listener!

The length of the tail indicates the quality of your sex life.
And again more is better! You drew small tail :)

eek!:cry:

it also says I'm good at remembering birthdays... I can't remember birthdays worth crap!

Can't help but notice your location. I wonder if there's a connection.

Odysseus The Prudent Counsellor and Complete Man
[Taken from Richmond Lattimore's translation of the Iliad]
Odysseus is crafty, resourceful, daring, and merciless. Essentially, he can be described by the Greek word sophron. This is untranslatable. It means, not necessarily that you have superior brains, but that you make the maximum use of whatever brains you have got. Odysseus is the antithesis of Achilleus. Achilleus has fine intelligence, but passion clouds it; Odysseus has strong passions, but his intelligence keeps them under control. Achilleus, Hektor and Agamemnon, magnificent as they are, are flawed with uncertainty and can act on confused motives; Odysseus never. A single purpose guides Odysseus in the Iliad. The expedition against Troy must succeed. He has no recklessness, but does have stark courage when that is needed. Not the noblest or stateliest of Homer's heroes, he is the one who survives.

Nah, Hektor's cooler than Odysseus.

Try it with a trackpad! Even worse! :redface: Some of those people must have plotter thingies (the ones that let you draw like you're using a pencil).

Yeah, Odysseus rocks.

Okay, finally did the Illiad hero one:
Aias The Soldier
[Taken from Richmond Lattimore's translation of the Iliad]
Greatest of warriors after Achilleus is Aias. Homer is very firm about this. Aias carries on, from beginning to end, without benefit of supernatural aid. A huge man, he is compared to a wall, and carries a great shield of seven fold ox hide. Lack of inspired brilliance may go with the failure, in Aias' case, of that divine aid lavished on other heroes. He fights as a big man, with no aura of the supernatural about him; best on defense and when the going is worst. Lacking the glamour of others, never the greatest leader, Aias remains throughout the best soldier of them all.
