    Really enjoyed that. Nice to see that boys never have to grow up...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Hm. Epimethus was the god of excuses, breakdowns, stuff-ups and afterthoughts (of the "maybe we shouldn't have ... " variety). Wonder if they knew that ?

    OTOH he was the brother of Prometheus and (Norton) Atlas, so that may have been a factor.

    He was also regarded as a right plonker, but since , like me, he fell foul of that bastard Zeus I have sympathy with him.
