Sweating dogs; its Greek to me

Dogs sweat through their saliva, right? WRONG! Contrary to popular belief, dongs sweat through the pads of their feet.

Have you ever heard the Phrase "it's Greek to me" This phrase meaning that one did not comprehend was originally spoken by Casca the cynic (one of the senators in the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.) Contrary to the modern use of the phrase, Casca was actually referring to a Greek speech made by the senator Cicero that he could not understand because it was in Greek.
