A Reptile Dysfunction

After a month and a half of some impressively thorough research, Big C is officially an expert on Greek Mythology.  The assignment was, after all, to pick a topic and become an expert on it.  

The required element of a poster was hard for him to narrow down but he settled on 14 goddesses and gods.  He started with the big 3, filled in the next most popular 9, and tossed in 2 more for the heck of it.  He could have added all of the Heros and their adventures, the Titans, and The Illiad...but I had to talk him down from over-extending.  The poster, as it stands, is complete and focused.

He picked an extra-credit project too.  The boy chose a PowerPoint claymation movie of Perseus slaying Medusa.  (He could have gotten away with a few slides of some artifacts.)  This is the whole reason we were testing out the process about a month ago.  Since the project was a huge undertaking, the whole family pitched in.  Big C insisted on giving everyone their props when the credits roll.  He is so magnanimous that way.  But the work done by the boy was intense and time consuming.  He even did an extra-extra credit piece by comparing Greek gods to Norse gods.

This is the "The End" page.  It is Perseus (clay-man) greeting Pegasus (Schleich figure) who, by the way, just "sprang forth out of Medusa's corpse" as Big C likes to say.  (Medusa used to be a beauty who was doing Poseidon and all was going well until they hooked up one night in Athena's temple.  After watching them first, Athena decided she was ticked that they left a mess on her alter and so she turned the pregnant hottie into the hag with the bad hair we all recognize.  So when Perseus whacked her head off a winged horse [that she was impregnated with for ages] came out of her neck--my words not his.) 

He also made two advertisements that he inserted in the movie!  One is for an extreme vacation on Crete to solve the labyrinth and battle the Minotaur.  The second is for Aphriditiss Love Potion.  I thought he should do one for RD--reptile dysfunction.  Thought it should spoof all those Cialis and Viagra ads but use Medusa's snake-hair instead.  The snakes could all be limp and shriveled and then she takes Pythagra or Cialhiss and they all swell to thrice their normal size and stick straight out.  Then he could have a little clock show it is four and a half hours later and she could be at the hospital with the snakes still all rigid wearing pained expressions on their little faces.
