know this:
Aeolus is the Regent of the Winds in Greek mythology (ok, for the picky, there are three Aeolus in Greek mythology - we're discussing the one associated with Odysseus). Boreas (North Wind), Eurus(East Wind), Notus (South Wind), and Zephyr (West Wind). Pretty cool huh? |

Dunno, but I never heard of it before now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aioli Damn - three new things I learned today. I've already learned six new things this week alone.
