Lord Elgin and the Parthenon marbles
Snatched from northern climes

Greek demands to get back the Elgin marbles risk stopping a better idea: museums lending their treasures

How about the Greeks snatch their marbles back in the same way that the English snatched the Scotchman's balls back in the 18th Century?

Sure its a better idea.

Why not just take the rest of the Parthenon, after all, those Greeks wouldnt know how to look after anything would they.
