Why is it when the alarm goes on it goes off?
Why is it you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?
Why is it when you say "heads up" you mean "get your head down"?
Why is it when the building burns up it burns down?
Why is it that some of our best experts in languages are comedians?
Because language is funny!

Personally, for my own use, a translation for KATEPOQH hO QANATOS EIS
NIKOS I like is:
Victory eats death for lunch.
