in reply to a message by Pavlos
"Until the day that an ancient inscription is found with the name "Alexandrovski" (or "Alexandrev" or "Alexandrov") written on it instead of "Alexander", true Macedonia and true Macedonians will remain Greek, as they always were."

Lighting one's bulb
...I have a feeling that the Greek "volvos" -- from which the word "bulb" developed -- be related to the Latin "volva"/"vulva"?

Partly right, Pavlos,
Actually the Latin "volva" - "vulva" is related to the Ancient Greek "BOLBA", while "bulb" derives from Ancient Greek "BOLBOS" (now "volvos", but then "bolbos").
