Greek?

This came from a phone conversation which I had earlier tonight....
It prompted me to google "Greek Alphabets"




Greek Alphabet


Α α Alpha
Ν ν Nu


Β β Beta
Ξ ξ Xi


Γ γ Gamma
Ο ο Omicron


Δ δ Delta
Π π Pi


Ε ε Epsilon
Ρ ρ Rho


Ζ ζ Zeta
Σ σ ς Sigma


Η η Eta
Τ τ Tau


Θ θ Theta
Υ υ Upsilon


Ι ι Iota
Φ φ Phi


Κ κ Kappa
Χ χ Chi


Λ λ Lambda
Ψ ψ Psi


Μ μ Mu
Ω ω Omega


Obsolete Letters


Ϝ ϝ Digamma
Ϻ ϻ San


Ϙ ϙ Qoppa
Ϡ ϡ Sampi


Ϛ ϛ Stigma
Ϸ ϸ Sho


You can't see the ϝ ϝ because the letters are obsolete and most coding systems can't read them.

This is just the start...I will persevere and learn more greek! Well until I get another harebrain scheme to embark upon!

Flying with blocked ears!

Have you ever flown when you are having a bad flu and with blocked ears?

It's unbearable as you can't unblock your ears...and you are left feeling stuck!
The perpetually stuck feeling is unbearable! It even exerbates feeling of air-sickness.

Anybody knows a quick cure to that? Coffee only helps a little....
