   OK, now you’re making it too simple, Justin. Even I get the reference.

   I’m afraid that’s an Agamem non-starter. Troy harder next time!

   A relative of hers worked at the cathedral. I don’t remember his name, but his face rings a bell.

   Are the guys in the last ship going to stay at the Paris Hilton?

    Do cell phones work on cruise ships? Are there roaming charges?

    Then there’s the metric unit: if one Helen of beauty can launch 1000 ships, one milihelen is enough beauty for one ship, and one microhelen will entice one sailor to wolf-whistle…

    The funny thing is, that when the second ship was ‘launched’…there was no Paris, or an Eiffel Tower. There was also no Rome yet either, since neither had been built yet. France and Italy didn’t exist yet. In Helen’s day, Italy was called ‘Latium’ and we only have Homer’s word for it. Cheers

    And sometimes when there are too many ships, the sailors have to go to Helen Waite. And, actually, Iphigenia was the one who launched a thousand ships, but she wasn’t as pretty as her aunt, so nobody remembers her. (And looking at how the family turned out, Helen was smart to flee to Troy or Egypt or wherever… For all the trouble she caused, she was a pretty good egg.)
