I was sipping an ouzo at the Greek Festival yesterday when my friend Joe, after taking a swig of Mythos beer, asked if I'd seen the trailer to the new Jennifer Lopez movie, The Boy Next Door. In it, Lopez plays a high school teacher who has an affair with a much younger man.

"He gives her a first edition copy of The Iliad," Joe said, then roared with laughter. "He tells her he got it for a buck at a garage sale." (More howls.) "So nobody involved in the making of the movie has any idea how old The Iliad is. I'm so glad I got to say that at a Greek Festival."

Taking a breath, Joe said: "If I get my hands on a first edition of The Iliad I'm not giving it to anybody - I don't care how attractive she is."

I appreciate the fact that he is a news anchor and that gossip sites are inundated with intelligent reporting, but seriously
people. the Extra-Terrestrial’ (1982) made Drew Barrymore gain famous in Hollywood at the
age of 7. These are not the only physical signs, but
these are probably the ones you or her may notice.
