Ancient Greek Planet Calculator
this is another interesting, anecdotal story, specifically about a device that might have been used to calculate planetary data in the first century B.C, but I just really liked the quote that the "jackboot of the Romans came through" and ruined the Greeks' advanced civilization. hah. Stupid romans.
Romane Eunt Dormun?
anybody remember the monty python quote from Life of Brian?

well the last word is definitely domus, not dormus... and based on my sketchy latin, I believe it would be
romani eunt domum.
Of course I'm too lazy to actually look it up.
