Just realized that I included my comment within the above quote from Wikipedia. The last line is mine.

When talking to students I’d be hesitant to use the phrase, “bone up on” regarding anything involving Greek culture.

P.S. Look for me outside.

My favorite suicide note was from Crimes and Misdemeanors where the scientist left one that said, “I’ve gone out the window.”

I’m not sure what that says that I just post the suicide piece thinking it’s funny and not really even thinking it might be serious.

This looks like a humor piece. From Wikipedia:

Spiked also regularly critique risk society; animal rights; political correctness; and environmentalism. As regards the latter, a particular Spiked target has been what they see as "exaggerated" and "hysterical" interpretations of the scientific consensus on global warming. Spiked seems to be a strange amalgam of Marxism and libertarianism. (Anarchists?)

I say they go to the Arctic, or Antarctic and freeze into an ice field. That way their body won’t decay and release CO2 into the atmosphere. And then, when global warming does actually occur in a few million years or so, it won’t matter when it thaws out, because no one will ever notice.
It’s currently -1 in Barrow, AK, so it won’t take long to freeze.

I don’t know about the “gallows humor”, Floyd. I checked out another article at Spiked, and it seemed to be a serious piece. In their “About” section, they credit Karl Marx as a free thinker, along with John Stuart Mill, a “utilitarianism” proponent. Oddly, they find that Stalin was narrow-minded.

Then, again, I can be sort of “low-watt bulb”; so, perhaps this is the British version of The Onion, and I just don’t recognize it.
