Here's an idea: Let's shrink Greece

Greek 'No' May Have Its Roots in Heroic Myths and Real Resistance

(This article was picked up by New Delhi’s NDTV from the NYTimes and since the Times is behind a paywall, well….

(The whole Greek financial thing has spawned a succession of amusing headlines, among which is an entire sub-genre of the type, Greece is Running Out of Time

(Dude. Seriously? Greece freaking owns time—well, more or less.

"In Greek mythology, Chronos (Ancient Greek: Χρόνος) is identified as the Personification of Time. His name in Greek means "time" and is alternatively spelled Chronus (Latin spelling) or Khronos. Chronos is usually portrayed as an old, wise man with a long, gray beard, such as "Father Time". Some English words whose etymological root is khronos/chronos include chronology, chronometer, chronic, anachronism, synchronize, and chronicle."

(How are they going to run out of it?)
