Yesterday, 3 people were right about Atlas. He was punished by Zeus and the other Olympians for being a Titan upstart. He was sentenced to hold up the world. Hercules takes the world upon his own shoulders for awhile, and Atlas tries to trick him, but Hercules says he wants to put a soft cloth over his own shoulders and then assume the burden, so Atlas takes the world back, and Hercules ditches Atlas.

Today’s question: What other Titan does Hercules help during his labors?

Herculean wisdom:
“The Hephaubot? Man, that’s ugly.”
“Yeah,” said Tony.
“How much?” said George?

Be careful about how you spend your money, even if the thing you’re buying is mythological.
