lol, I enjoyed it, but you might consider citing any greek mythology when its obscure and easily confused with a database.

The story of Cassandra is one of the most well-known of the Greek myths and the allusion a standard rhetorical device in at least the English language. The fact that anyone would have confused the reference with a database in this context makes me sad for the state of 21st century humanities education.
