Best battle plan ever.  I love this design, complete with wheels (must be round) and so well concealed door.  By the way, The Trojan Rabbit is, like everything else in the world, a modern alternative band.  They are from Cincinnati, Ohio (props to my buddy George!).  The girl is kind of cute in grungy kind of way, but the bearded Michael Shanks wanna-be is just too hipster to stomach.  I do want to give them credit for having their own dedicated web site and not just some lame Facebook page.  As usual I refuse to listen to random bands I stumble upon online, so if anyone knows anything about them let me know.

I found an interesting article on the five worst battle plans in history.  Mostly it makes you want to find a general and punch him.  The invasion of Gallipoli, by the way, was recorded in the movie Gallipoli, starring a very young Mel Gibson.  Here is a link to the ending of the movie, but I warn you you will want to kill yourself after watching it.  It is depressing as hell.

As long as we are on Mel Gibson, I guess I should talk about his arrest a couple years ago.  Don't get me wrong.  I'm a huge fan of Mad Max and Road Warrior (and a modest fan of Beyond Thunderdome), but in spite of all the spin control he threw at it this TMZ article on his arrest really makes him look like a total jerk.  I found a couple videos that claim they are the arrest of Mel, but none of them show him clearly and the sound sucks, so I will hold off.  

As for this shirt, it of course reminds me of the movie Troy from 2004.  In spite of getting a shockingly large 55% on Rotten Tomatoes I had issues with it.  The action was good and the idea of commanders fighting it out is both from the Illiad and history, but it bugs me that they compressed 20 years of war into a two week period.  Is it so hard to find a plot device that allows for an accurate-ish representation?  Also, Paris did not survive and was a scumbag who used poison arrows.
