Lab meeting in the morning, and of course i'm posting on my blog...

From this morning, having read through a ridiculous list of famous bits of wartime trash-talk, the wikipedia definition of the Spartans' laconic phrase. i was pleased to note that "Molon labe" ('Come and take them', in reference to having to surrender weapons to the Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae) was on the list. One of the early battles during the Texas Revolution was kicked off by the similar phrase "Come and Take It", regarding a canon given to the Texans for their protection against raids being recalled by the Spanish Government.
