ATLAS
A really big dude who used to carry the world upon his shoulders
(or something like that). Today's modern Prime Ministers and
Presidents may think that they carry the world upon *their*
shoulders, but if that were true then they'd be crushed into tiny
specks just by the sheer weight of the damn thing. Actually the
above definition is only mythical. Atlas was actually the bloke in
the library in ancient Athens who knew where all the street
directories were kept. [See also: Metaphorical]
