It’s funny you mention Io, because I started by doing the same thing in writing my T-SQL Tuesday blog last week, but I went in another direction instead.

In researching her, I found that when Hera forced Io to wander the earth as a cow, one of the areas she wandered was in the Istanbul Strait, also known as the Bosphorus. The name Bosphorus was named after her, coming from the Greek work Bosporos, made up of the words bous, meaning ox or cow, and poros, meaning shallow sea passage or strait or ford. So you could conceivably say that Bosphorus is translated as ox-ford or Oxford.

Anyway, I enjoyed reading your post… Loved the turtles picture.

Looks like there’s a lot of platters on those turtles all the way down…

Shear awesomesauce. With a side of Nympthatic cottage cheese according to that image of Io. Baby got some fatback. So, if we use the image as a guide our Io response time depends on how horny the cloud is?
