Hopefully Charon has upgraded the size of his ferryboat in the last millenia or two... otherwise the wait in line is going to be at least a century long!</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmm... I wonder when and where Charon was supposed to spend his wages? Or did the Greeks just believe he was piling up a mountain of coin somewhere?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
