on wikipedia i found some interesting stuff on Cassandra from Greek mytholpgy. it turns out that Csassandr spent the night in apollo's temple and Apollo fell in love with her. Apollo sent 20 snakes to eat the cardilage out of her ears and in the morning she had the ability to see and hear the futuer. But Cassandra did not love Apollo in return so he cursed her so thant no one would belivev her predictions. When the trojan war came around, Cassandra told the trojans about the trojan horse. but they did not believe her. Then she and her famliy got arrested and hen the war happends and she died.
Moral of story: if somone tell you about a sneak attack, believe them.
