Dedalus was a famous Athenian architect/engineer that Minos invited to Crete to build him a Labyrinth. When Dedalus finished, Minos jailed him in the Labyrinth. Dedalus however, build two sets of wings using wax and feathers, one for himself and one for his son Icarus, and they flew off Crete. During the flight to Athens Icarus ,happy from flying, decided to challenge the sun. He flew too high and the sun melted the wax that kept his wings together. Icarus fell in the Aegean and died. The island Icaria is named after him.

"Oh god! Someone help! Icarus tripped and fell in the blender again!" - Kali

Strangely enough, that's actually something that one of my friends said. There was no blender, but her cat is named Icarus and does spaz dances that make him look like he's in one....

My pleasure, and I do believe that if the art of storytelling and sharing knowledge was to die, we humans would be beyond doomed.
