DvDvs posted an old joke about Mitsaras, an unemployed man who, according to the story, asked Costas Simitis to help him find a job. With a recommendation letter from Simitis, he went to the French aircraft company Dassault. Although he admitted he had no knowledge or work experience, he told the manager that he had many connections and was hired as a doorman. In the joke, Mitsaras utilized his connections with Muammar Gaddafi and Bill Clinton, who, as the story goes, ordered 100 and 300 airplanes respectively. When the manager questioned that he also knew the Pope, Mitsaras bet that he would appear next to him during his visit to France. The manager saw the two together but fainted when the Prime Minister of Mongolia asked him who the man with the big hat and red apron next to Mitsaras was. #χιούμορ #σάτιρα #καθημερινότητα (translated)

Vagg_Drakoulis made a special mention of a player from Olympiakos, stating that he had delivered his most complete performance with the team in the EuroLeague up to that point. He connected it with the player's good presence the previous week against Efes, when, as he noted, he had helped change the dynamics in the third quarter. He added that the sample remained small, but the player seemed to work more comfortably with one of Fournier, Montero, or Joseph than with Tyler. #Euroleague #OlympiacosBC #Basketball (translated)

FLORENTIA argued that archaeological findings indicated the movement of Minoans beyond the Aegean, to the highlands of Anatolia. She compared Minoan Civilization with the Kingdom of Urartu, which she placed in the 9th to 7th century BC, and mentioned similarities in economy, technology, and worship. Referring to excavations, among others at Garibin Tepe, she said that Urartian ritual vessels, containers, and rhyta exhibited similarities with the Minoan ones. She added that the bull had a central symbolic role in both cultures and associated Minoan worship with the worship of the Urartian god Haldi. FLORENTIA also mentioned that both societies possessed palatial or fortified structures under the control of a priestly or royal elite, while public rituals were part of daily life. She also presented as common elements the central control of goods such as wheat, wine, and oil, as well as the use of clay seals. In the management of water, she compared the Minoan networks with the Menawa Canal, which she stated was 30 miles long, and with the rock-cut reservoirs of Urartu. Finally, she compared the collapse of Minoan centers and the disappearance of Linear A with the burning of Urartian fortifications and the loss of cuneiform writing. She suggested the possibility that the Urartians maintained elements of an older Aegean tradition of mysteries and techniques, rather than being influenced solely by the Assyrians, and announced that she would return with more details. #Αρχαιολογία #ΜινωικόςΠολιτισμός #ΟυραρτικόςΠολιτισμός (translated)

Vasso Koulpa, the mother of Anastasios Koutsopoulos, described in her testimony at the trial for the Tempe disaster how she said goodbye to her son before he boarded the train. She mentioned that he was initially scheduled to leave the next day and that he had shown her his new mobile phone, which, as he told her, could be used to call in case of an accident. Koulpa said that at 11:05, Tasos informed her by phone that the train was delayed and that he was in Larissa. Later, when he did not answer her calls, her husband speculated that there might not have been a signal along the route. At 12:15, as she reported, her son George informed her that the train had derailed. The family set off for Larissa, and upon arriving at the scene, she was searching for Tasos among the injured and the people who were crying. At the hospital, according to her testimony, she saw a stretcher being taken down from an ambulance that carried a bag with a dead body, and she tried to determine if the body was her son’s. Later, she told the investigating judge that she did not know what exactly she had received, describing how her child had been burned. She claimed that Tasos had survived the collision and could have been saved if the fire had not broken out. Koulpa stated that she wanted to know the truth and requested that the investigation and justice not be influenced by political considerations. She also said that she did not accept human error as an explanation and called for all evidence to be examined. #Δικαιοσύνη #Τέμπη #Αλήθεια (translated)
