OK.I thought you were referring to Cyprus or some other problem Greeks have with the Turks.I was thinking about reporting you to Yiannis.BTW what's your fascination with Naked statues.Some Greek statues depict well clothed Individuals.I like them both ways.

Apparently Azimuth has a taste for nudity, so I'll post a couple of ancient Greek porn pictures for him. Perhaps we can start an "ancient porn" thread at the Tavern.
