I had just bought calipers and wanted to get precise values for the calculator. When it came back unambiguously Greek, I thought, Wow, that Dienekes <i>really</i> nailed it. However, I then turned the calipers to my Anglo-Scandinavian partner and he also turned out to be Greek. Hmm. So, I went back to calculator and entered absurdly high and low values for several inputs simultaneously. Greek, Greek, Greek! <br />Dienekes, you're the greatest Hellenizer since Αλεξανδρος ο Μεγας.Spyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508658590019533178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-38350877862179804632010-09-03T19:34:07.518+03:002010-09-03T19:34:07.518+03:00Dienekes must be quite relaxed after all that stre...<i>Dienekes must be quite relaxed after all that stretching.</i><br /><br />?Dienekeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082684850093948970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-14809464283040749522010-09-03T19:19:22.506+03:002010-09-03T19:19:22.506+03:00Dienekes must be quite relaxed after all that stre...Dienekes must be quite relaxed after all that stretching.princenuadhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165977957244158593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-35366419958049080032010-09-03T15:27:16.346+03:002010-09-03T15:27:16.346+03:00I belong to the ones who had "Greek" wit...I belong to the ones who had "Greek" with no other matches.<br /><br />I am German.
