Like Pandora, he is so curious, he has to check this out. Slight error, Pandora was a female in greek mythology (well, the first female to be more precise)

  I believe those 'he's refer to dranke, not Pandora.

  I think the "he" is dfranke in this context.

    Yeah, but I looked through the rest of the list and the rest of the examples could have referred to the male context, so I simply was just making sure.

      The sentence was grammatically unambiguous as written.

  most people don't know this and in the interest of knowledge I thought I'd point it out: Pandora was the wife of Prometheus (the Titan of Knowledge) who made all the animals and humanity (last of all and out of the only material he had left - clay). In order to give them life, he stole fire from the gods and gave it to his creations, for which he was bitterly punised. In one telling he was tied to a mountain and his heart/liver was eaten by an eagle/vulture and grew back every day. HOWEVER, in another telling, his punishment was PANDORA and her famous box.... I just always found that interesting, vivisection every day for eternity, or a curious wife... fine lines =P

    And in the other telling, the box wasn't actually a box, but was a jar. It was incorrectly translated by someone (I forget their name, I should go look it up) and has stuck ever since. EDIT - just looked it up, it was incorrectly translated by Erasmus of Rotterdam when he first translated Hesiod's tale into Latin from Greek.
