What does Greece (the country) have to do with Grease (the movie) And what does Grease (the movie) have to do with greasy food Plenty, if you ask the folks at mental_floss.

How do you get from Puppies to Stalin; from Humpty Dumpty to Elizabeth Taylor; from the Hundred Years' War to 8 Minute Abs; or even from Schoolhouse Rock to Abstract Expressionism You'll just have to open up the book to find out.
