Quiz on the Greek alphabet!

Take out a sheet of paper and write out the greek alphabet in order.

Very good, John. And interesting take on the extra credit...of course I never would have thought about it that way, but at least you're thinking

Well, thanks. But I gotta ask... why do you sound so surprised? I'll have you know, I'm a pretty smart guy. Just ask me. ;)

Not too many people are that inventive with the Greek language. In fact, I don't know too many people who actually do more than the bare minimum unless it is to suck up to me

So this isn't the part where I tell you that I didn't make it up and it's from a video tape by a guy named Gallagher - a comedian from the 80's?

And suck up? You have so got the wrong guy. I just have a smart mouth and a tendancy to show off. :)
