Okay, nice explanation, Rebel. I do have one off-topic question though.

What does Pyrrhic mean? I noticed that it strikingly resembles the name of the Greek warrior Pyrrhus, the son of Achilles, whom I have just encountered in my translation of the Aeneid. I'm right in the middle of the part where he kils Priam's son and then Priam kills himself (My professor hasn't corrected our translation yet, so I'm not sure whether Priam stabbed himself or Pyrrus--it's unclear as there's no stated object of the "stab" verb.)--no further than that. I'm wondering what Pyrrhus would have to do with, as I've just read on Encarta, "a victory won at such great cost to the victor that it is tantamount to a defeat."
Thanks to anyone who feeds my pointless curiosity.
