http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_Gilgamesh The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem from Ancient Iraq and is among the earliest known works of literary writings. Scholars believe that it originated as a series of Sumerian legends and poems about the mythological hero-king Gilgamesh, which were gathered into a longer Akkadian poem much later; the most complete version existing today is preserved on 12 clay tablets in the library collection of the 7th century BCE Assyrian king Ashurbanipal. Translation here: http://www.interfaith.org/ancient/mesopotamia/epic-of-gilgamesh/ Tablet 1 includes the sentence: "She-who-must-be-obeyed fashioned his body's self." -- Stuart On 24 Oct 2009 at 4:42, Max Wanadoo wrote: > I give up. > I read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumer but am no wiser unless it > is something to do with Queen of Sheba and a Rolex watch. > > Max > > -----Original Message----- > From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com > [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Stuart McLachlan > Sent: 23 October 2009 22:24 > To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues > Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Friday OT > > Or as Rumpole was wont to say "she who must be obeyed". > > Which ties us in nicely with the other thread about time and the Sumerians. > > A virtual pint to the first person who can say what the tie in is. > > -- > Stuart > > > On 23 Oct 2009 at 17:20, Max Wanadoo wrote: > > > Your lucky...here it is "Commander in Chief" with the power of > beheading... > > > > Max > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com > > [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence > > Sent: 23 October 2009 17:17 > > To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' > > Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Friday OT > > > > The Brits have to first stop treating their men like second rate citzens. > > The Brits out here describ their wives as mangement for good reason. ;-) > > > > Jim > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com > > [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Max Wanadoo > > Sent: Friday, October 23, 2009 8:48 AM > > To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' > > Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Friday OT > > > > Well as far as I am concerned, if you want to be British all you have to > do > > is act like a Brit.
