Alexamder the Great sent a sack to Darius, King of the Persians. The story has it that Darius had sent Alexander a sack of sesame seeds (or something like that) to symbolise the vast numbers in his army. Alexander sent him a sack back filled with mustard seeds, which are much smaller and so the sack contained many times as many seeds. Sep 16 03, 6:59 AM
