Here's one extract "He (the medical officer on Scott's expedition to the South Pole) was shocked by what he described as the "depraved" sexual acts of "hooligan" males who were mating with dead females. So distressed was he that he recorded the "perverted" activities in Greek in his notebook.

Aah, those were the days when you just wrote in Greek when you had something dodgy to jot down!

It's all greek to me.

Many penguin species rape the young ones as well. I suppose not seeing the sun for 6 months of the year and in the freezing cold, life's a real drag.

I guess so.

The idea of his thoughts being written down in Greek interests me. I guess this is a Lady Chatterley's Lover type thing (Would you let your servants read this book?), write it down in Greek in case the servants peek a look at your diary.
