The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'
I get enough latin during school hours. We are translating Vergil's aeneid and that would be my hardest class of I didn't cheat on every test

Julius Caesar the play, by Shakespeare was one of the better ones. But still everybody gets all hyped and crazy about that shitty Romeo and Juliet.
I forgot it was the Ides of March.

Some things the Romans Invented you may not know about.
- Advanced medical practices which included (but not limited to) Heart, brain, cosmetic and Plastic surgery as well as Cesareans.
- Working Plumbing (derived from the word plumbum Pb, the element symbol of lead), with consisted of both aqueducts to bring fresh water into homes, baths and fountains but also a sophisticated sewage system to remove human waste.
- Concrete. Cement (or mortar) already existed but was prone to crumble over time. By adding volcanic ash they created a concrete which would not crumble but which was also water proof and could set underwater. They also invented the concept of placing metal bars in the concrete to make it 'reinforced'.
- Our calendar (been amended once in the 16th century).
- Christmas
- Apartment blocks
- Public toilets
- Lipsticks and cosmetics (perfume was invented by the Egyptians)
- Scissors
- Magnifying glass
- Different shoe shapes for left and right foot
- Postal system
- The Census
- Central underfloor heating/cooling

Roman names > Crappy modern English names.

It was quite unfortunate that Europe wouldn't surpass the Romans until 1500 AD, Imagine where we'd be now if Rome hadn't fallen (besides speaking Latin)

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
I hear they like butt s3x in public bathrooms. If you were a slave don't pick up the soap!
How could you admire all the buildings? They're all broken and bits are missing.
nothing says "fuck you, i'm an empire" like a giant aqueduct
Too bad the Romans had to go and convert to Christianity, although it was a smart move on their behalf I guess, as the Roman Catholic Church basically managed to extend the European Roman Empire for hundreds if not thousands of years longer (indirectly). Nothing holds an empire together better than a religion. Roman Catholic Church, Muslim Caliphate......all the same shit
They used to be cool

That's not Hadrian's Wall...
I remember staying up ages to watch some cunty magician walk through it, what a load of fucking shite that was. At least when some other fella jumped it on his motorbike they got a 'ooohhhh' outta me. I was about 10 at the time.AussieReaper wrote:
