Huh. Well that was a fun way to spend a few minutes this morning.

Didn't we already have this a few months ago? Yeah, it's stupid but not that stupid, because it could simply refer to one of the many translations of the Iliad, which are still being written and sometimes do receive a new edition after a while. My partner is a classical archeologist, and she would go bonkers if someone gifted her a signed first edition of Emily Wilson's recent translation of the Iliad.

I got a killer gift idea for your partner

“To J-Lo. From your homie Homer.”

"Five dollars? Get outta here."

I had to check if it's true because it sounds too stupid.

They don't say it's signed but do say it's first edition. It seems like a horrible movie.

Oh God. I imploded watching that 59 second clip from secondhand cringe.

It is pretty bad. I know this because I saw it and forgot what happened in it.

That's because it's not the IIiad, but the Iliad. I guess it could be the lliad but you usually capitalize book titles I think?

This comment just broke my brain.

To be fair, its probably the writers fault. Although she still says it out loud and probably did a ton of times in case the scene needed repeated recording.

A signed voice recording - priceless!
