Thank you Sandy.  That one gives us some food for thought.

I suspect that he might have  needed to change his underwear.

That is a profound little video Hermes.  .....................one of the old Greeks is said to have said something to the effect that the wise man knows that he does not know.

Any HAF Greek scholars out there who can recite the correct quotation?

From Wikipedia:

Quote"I know that I know nothing" is a saying derived from Plato's account of the Greek philosopher Socrates. It is also called the Socratic paradox. The phrase is not one that Socrates himself is ever recorded as saying.

This saying is also connected or conflated with the answer to a question Socrates (according to Xenophon) or Chaerephon (according to Plato) is said to have posed to the Pythia, the oracle of Delphi, in which the Oracle stated something to the effect of "Socrates is the wisest."
