			<description>&#60;p&#62;Ronald Vickers, a Professor of Classics at Oxford University, has admitted that the entire subject of Greek Mythology was invented by a group of drunken lecturers in the 1820s.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;'I've found learned literature from this time which clearly shows that my late colleagues were having a bit of a laugh after a night on the port and decided to make-up the most ridiculous stories and then create a deep history to substantiate their drunken ideas' said an embarrassed Professor 'I'm afraid we need to close the department here and at every other university in the world.'&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;'If you think about it, the clue's in the name, and they couldn't have gone more out of their way to embed a coded message when they invented the term, but somehow it just stuck, and there's even WikiPedia references to the subject now, it's become a monster and it's about time we came clean on the subject.'&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Professor Vickers also revealed the truth behnd the naming of Greek Gods 'Hades was the sound made by a junior lecturer when puking-up, Helious was the name of the man in charge of the ficticious flying horse - quite a close prediction don't you think? Ares was a drunked mispronunciation of something you wiped after a visit to the loo.'&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;'When I saw questions on Greek mythology on Who Wants to be a Millionnaire I was quite worried that the joke was out-of-hand, but when I heard it being discussed on the Jeremy Kyle show I decided we had to spill the beans.'&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;'The good thing is that my concience is now clear, and I can focus my attention on proper scholastic research on the book I'm writing on Christianity, the virgin birth and the resurrection.'
