…”Demetrius Poliorcetes, King of Macedonia, paid Lamia, a Greek courtesan 250 talents for sex. He made the people of his city raise the money. 250 talents is the equivalent of $64.9 million which means Lamia was the most expensive prostitute of all time.”…

“Strategy session”?? Is that what they’re calling it now?
What can Sandra Fluke (Rhymes with Chuck) teach me about anything?
I understand she goes bare back……
Right alongside personal webcam congress.
Additional book and accessory fees will be billed separately.
Bet Barack will bid and arrange to channel his “Inner Lamia” with the help of Ms Fluke.

Re: “…session will take place by phone … one session of up to one hour.”
So, call girl.
So, hourly.

Lamia majora
So, if that currency conversion is right, a talent equals $260K? That means in the scriptural parable of the talents, they weren’t talking chump change.
“strategy session”? Didn’t that used to be called “phone sex”?
I guess her phone number is a 900 area code.
Kinda …low rent, t’ain’t it?
Not for nuttin but CPAs run $250 & up, lawyahssssssss $450 & up, some sys analysts I’ve known $800 & up — including pizza…
I hear she’s on the short list for Time Man *cough* Man of teh Year. For being 30, a “student” unable to carry her own weight & publicly demanding Other People pay for her $9/month BC….
Sounds about right, come to think.
Does that price include free condoms?
Last I heard, Little Orphan Sandy was a law student. Yet to hear if / where she passed the bar.
SOMEBODY needs this for Christmas!
^ PERFECT for the ronery Lympian on your gift list!
Why does “have to tie a pork chop around her neck to get the dog to play with ‘er” keep flashing into my mind?
Their math is off. An Athenian talent (which was a unit of weight) was ~26 kg, so 250 talents is about 6,500,000 grams. This tribute/fine/extortion was almost certainly 250 talents of silver, which is running about $1/gram. So about $6.5 million in today’s money, but that would’ve been fantastic wealth back then. That must’ve been some piece of ass.
^ or else he was that icky :)
