Victoria Stillwell would probably advice your to cross your arms and turn your back on the dog.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

Not fair, Queen Victoria. The Romans would have taken many more barbaric countries, if they just had had firearms  :thumbdn:

Well, that's why war is a bitch.  Whoever has the better strategy and/or equipment usually wins.

These were the regions of Italy Proper during Augustus' time.

Towards the end of the West Roman Empire Latium itself actually ceased to exist as a region. Rome was incorporated into the region of Tuscany and Umbria.

Latin Wikipedia article about the USA: Civitates Foederatae Americae 

When you tell a Roman that you are from the USA, you say: Sum ex Civitatibus Foederatus. Americanus sum. Or Americana sum, if you're a female :viking:

Whenever I see a Bowflex, I think about how I could make a giant crossbow out of one.

I got a bunch of the bendy arms from once doing a clean out and kept them over a year meaning to do just that but ended up throwing them out when I needed room for other stuff.

The name Catullus is related with Cadillac.

For the Unabomber of the Aspie Deceit:

An Indian chief is driving his Cadillac somewhere at Nevada. Suddenly his car gets broken. He examines it, and reveals that a technician must be called. But the chief has only $4, and no credit card. So he gathers some wood, makes a fire and signals his tribe with its smoke: "Hey, send somebody to my location with $500!"

The tribe accepts this signal, but to make sure in its meaning, signals back - once again, with the smoke:

"OK, chief, but why so much ?"

At this moment a ground test of nuclear bomb is being held on the test field nearby. A huge mushroom-like cloud of smoke rises into the sky... The tribe signals:

"Ok, Ok, chief, we just wondered, why to be so angry?"
