This was an entertaining read but I had to make an account just to point out the one think that has irked me and driven me crazy that no one else has corrected this.

"Look a gift horse in the mouth" did not originated with the Trojan Horse. The phrase comes from the act of checking a horses teeth to determine its age so you know if it is a "quality/good horse". It would be impolite to check a gift to meet standards so you don't check a free horse's teeth. Hence the idiom.
