Great idea including a paypal link. For some reason the $50 link didn't work, but I was able to use the $20 link with no problem.

I'm currently taking classes in ancient greek and thought you might find this an interesting tidbit (if you don't know it already of course lol) the names Paris and Alexandros in greek are more or less interchangeable, the prince of Troy was also known as Alexandros, but I thought you guys might find the etymology of alexander of interest. it essentially means defender of man. from the greek αλεξω (alexo, the verb to shield or defend) and αδρος (andros, meaning man) hey guys, great first episode.
