Aeolic Greek is a linguistic term used to describe a set of rather archaic Greek sub-dialects, spoken mainly in Boeotia (a region in Central Greece), in Lesbos (an island close to Asia Minor) and in other Greek colonies.
The first mentions of same-sex love between women come from ancient Greece.

Well, it all began...a long time ago, on a day like today, but not really. It started with an expedition, like the louis and clark expedition, but not really. When two friends left their homeland in search of a better land (but not really) that didn't have a seven inch democracy, but one that had hills always in groups of two(no matter how small). They discovered an island, with no wood, just grass as far as the eye could see. What once was unchartered territory is now filled with only the sound of humming vibrations. When the two friends Lesley and Bonnie settled in, they decided that the land of Les and Bo shall ever be the fantasy of all men...

Where did the word "Word" come from? And if you say "word" repeatedly for about 30 seconds, it's starts to lose it's meaning! ...I really don't have any clue what I'm talking about!
