Has anyone else realized the irony of the origin of a Marathon and this attack? Originally a messenger was sent to Athens to inform the government that they had won a battle, and here the battle happened at the end of the marathon.

Excellent point. I'm tempted to point this fact out to others, partially because it is ironically amusing and partially just because it's an interesting historical tidbit. However, I'm afraid people may look at it as being insensitive.
