I agree completely, except for the part about peeing standing up. Women can do that; I've seen it. But I think it's good for men to spend some time with men only. It makes them appreciate women more, and in some activities they behave better when there are no women around to impress. When I played volleyball, I was always struck by how pleasant it was to play in the men's leagues, and how obnoxious the same men were during a co-ed game.

Perhaps it's the same with women-only activities? And the best times of my childhood were when no grown-ups were around. Now it's considered a duty of parents to go to their children's basketball games and soccer matches and scream at the referee. But no adult relatives ever came to my little-league football games or practices. Part of what we were doing was playing at being adults, and having real adults around would have spoiled it.

At the ruins of the Kabirian temple on Limnos, the guide took me to a cave at sea level just below the temple, and told me it was the cave where Philoktetes stayed when he was abandoned on the way to Troy. It was very convenient that the cave was so close to the temple -- two sites for the price of one.<br />
<br />
It's interesting that the koboloi have no religious significance. Usually everything in traditional Greek culture has some religious significance.<br />

<u>Babelfish</u>: An den Ruinen des Kabirian Tempels auf Limnos, nahm der Führer mich zu einer Höhle am Meeresspiegel gerade unter dem Tempel, und mir ihn war die Höhle erklärt, wo Philoktetes blieb, als er auf der Weise zu Troy verlassen wurde. Es war sehr bequem, dass die Höhle also nah zum Tempel war -- zwei Aufstellungsorte für den Preis von einem. Es ist interessant, dass das koboloi keine fromme Bedeutung haben.

Only women can bare children and breast feed them.<br />
Men can write their name in the snow.<br />
Only children (and me) are truly innocent.<br />

Women still make better housewives.<br />

In Griechenland erzählt man sich viel, wenn der Tag lang ist und der Tag ist sehr sehr lang, besonders im Sommer, wenn die Touristeninvasionen durch die griechischen Museen ziehen .<br />
In "My big fat Greek wedding " beweist der griechische Vater, dass etymologisch ALLES von der griechischen Sprache kommt. Sogar das Wort Kimono= Chimonas=Winter. Hahaha.<br />
In der Tropfsteinhöhle Drogarati auf Kefalonia erzählt man den Touristen, dass Maria Callas in dieser Höhle gesungen hat. Das ist nicht wahr.<br />

In Greece one tells oneself much, if the day is long and the day is very very long, particularly in the summer, if the tourist invasions pull by the Greek museums. In " My big fat Greek wedding " the Greek father proves that etymologisch EVERYTHING of the Greek language comes. Even the word Kimono= Chimonas=Winter. Hahaha.

In the archaeological museum on Limnos, I saw something that the museum director told me was a koboloi from the 4th millenium BC (from the "poliochni" excavation site on Limnos). Maybe he was pulling my leg. Or maybe it really was a koboloi, and maybe sometime during the next six thousand years that tradition disappeared from the Aegean world and later was re-introduced from China and India. But how could they know what the ancient people used the beads for?
