When the Greek army was in a desperate time in their war against the Trojans, they resorted ti desperate measures. They knew they could not enter the city with force but maybe they could using their brains. Odysseus thought of a plan that was so crazy that it just might work. He ordered the construction of a giant wooden horse. This horse, which was to presented as a gift to the Greeks, would actually act as a mule for the entire Greek army into the city of Troy. Obviously this plan worked perfectly as the Greeks were able to leave the horse and kill most of the soldiers in the city before an alarm could be sounded. This is a classic example of brains beating brawn... as the saying goes "The giant wooden horse is mightier than the sword."
I have never really thought of a dream journey for myself, but if I could go anywhere in the world I would go to Australia or the Caribbean and fish for sailfish.
