Our apartment's complement included a ship's captain (not true), first and second Greeks (true), moi (also true) and I guess two empty rooms (five person apartment) or I forgot who the other guys were ... maybe there were in hospital recuperating from a very bad case of student-cooking/dining. <br /><br />The first Greek guy was great, so was the second Greek guy. Very clean guys, rubbish had to go out daily, etc. Kitchen, door knobs and the facilities spick and span. Not a hair in sight - not on the soap, towels, or bathroom floor. Novel experience to be frank, frankly. <br /><br />Anyways, one of the Greeks took to burning a cross on the top bit of the door frame of his room - I saw him do it while chowing down yet another bowl of Scots porridge oats (I was poor and couldn't afford red or white meat of any kind). I knew what was going on, he was doing that OT thing of marking his door to protect him from loosing his first born - except he didn't have any in his room (kids I mean). <br /><br />Bit wacko-Jacko I thought, but I watched intently - there was a reason why I picked the room with a window facing some grass to jump onto in case of fire. <br /><br />Moral to this story: Beware of Greeks who build Trojan horses and burn crosses on their door frames.
