On Crackmonkey, I wrote that the intricacy of ancient Greek verb structure

led to many British prep school students learning things like the present subjunctive first-person middle dual of "luo", no doubt so that, if two of them were ever captured by extremely ancient Greeks, they could sing a duet in which they discuss with their captors the possibility that they might ransom themselves.

This led indirectly to the relevation that Mr. Bad (who else?) is the holder of eleutheria.org.
