Pass The GPS

An engineering firm has been hired to find Ithaca, the legendary home of Odysseus. And, of course, all of us know that Odysseus was the hero of Homer's epic poem The Odyssey.

Ithaca has long been the subject of much debate. Some scholars maintain it was entirely mythical, much like Tolkien's Middle Earth. Others suggest that it was indeed real, and probably located in what is the present day island of Kefallonia.

Are these people stupid, or what? I just Googled "Ithaca," and it's in freakin' central New York state.
