  1. Hey, your hair got longer and looking good my dear lady. :lamo:
  2. Seriously, you need to UNRV's official public herald.
  3. Just where did all the Christians migrate?
  4. Well hominids like Neanderthal, Cro-Magnons, maybe even Austrailopithicus, and of course early human had rituals that would seem like they belivied in a supernatural entity, but not to the complexity of religion. They believed in simple things. Perhaps the first deity was man since death is such a random occurance, they can't fathom it but only as something bad/violent(masculinity). Its not hard to assume that it would be a goddess when it comes to life-giving, since life begins in the womb. So I guess Life is more important than understanding Death, just so by chance the 'mother nature' concept happens.
  5. The only problem I have with that sort of Athenian democracy is that the people can subject their leaders to exile for 10 years after they find out they dislike him, meaning that they downgrade him to almost a criminal level and take all his money and then just send him to the countryside for 10 friggin years as if he were nothing. I don't think democracy(only to the Greeks, since they created it) even exists, rather a modified form of Republicanism. There are too many holes in the concept that can make it look more like an aristocracy, oligarchy, or even just a mob, you name it.
  6. Well my classic/Latin teacher also provided the fact that the Punic War also decided who would combat Greek/Hellenic influence/power.
  7. Sadly, thats where foreign born immigrants come in...although its not a bad thing when they actually live and act closely to the American lifestyle. As for comparing America to Rome, I think you have a better chance of comparing the Founding Father's era to Ancient Rome.
  8. If I recall, he did pray to Saturn...while be chained and before talking to that lady..
  9. Nice... if a little more detail, you can make it look like a viral strain
  10. If you can manipulate the history for great action like Gladiator, sure why not. Because if you actually did write the actual events, it would be a major sad ending, because at the end of the movie, you would just have the Romans killing every single thing in wedge formation.
  11. Oh stop showing pictures of others, show your handsome Roman self in one of those things.
  12. Hey, whatever looks good, then you know you are good.
  13. Nessie really has to be the size of an otter if she were to live in Lock Ness. Lock Ness is just similar to the Dead Sea in terms of food supply.
  14. Fidens means confident and bold. But it is also the present active participle for the word fido which means to to or have confidence in, so in participial translation, trusting or while trusting.
  15. Holy Cow! I LOVE THIS. The concept is really great. How much do charge a person? Seriously you'd be making big money.
  16. Heavens, that's a lot of info. Thanks for the answer, I knew it was a lie.
  17. Arabia is the last of inhabited lands towards the south, and it is the only country which produces frankincense, myrrh, cassia, cinnamon, and laudanum. The Arabians do not get any of these, except the myrrh, without trouble. The frankincense they procure by means of the gum styrax, which the Greeks obtain from the Phoenicians; this they burn, and thereby obtain the spice. For the trees which bear the frankincense are guarded by winged serpents, small in size, and of varied colors, whereof vast numbers hang about every tree. They are of the same kind as the serpents that invade Egypt; and there is nothing but the smoke of the styrax which will drive them from the trees. The Arabians say that the whole world would swarm with these serpents, if they were not kept in check in the way in which I know that vipers Such, then, is the way in which the Arabians obtain their frankincense; their manner of collecting the cassia is the following: They cover all their body and their face with the hides of oxen and other skins, leaving only holes for the eyes, and thus protected go in search of the cassia, which grows in a lake of no great depth. All round the shores and in the lake itself there dwell a number of winged animals, much resembling bats, which screech horribly, and are very valiant. These creatures they must keep from their eyes all the while that they gather the cassia. Now what are these animals? Locust?
  18. For me, I would just have my extented thumb point towards my throat to signal kill.
  19. Here's a site that gives a lot of stupid places. Uhm, there is a DILDO, CANADA.... just look at the list. Sorry, just had to.
