Are you having fun while the AAPC regulars daily peck your guts out?
Prometheus wasn't a god, btw. Look it up.

I said, in effect, "Would you like to make pretentious fools of
yourselves, kooks?" and one of the kooks replied, "Yes, indeedy!"
When Goggling in the hope of impressing me, you accidentally picked
the wrong Scipio.

Only a disgusting fascist or ISIS supporter would prefer the grandson
to the grandfather.
Besides, only a delusional clown would imagine himself to *be* a Roman
general, even if the general were one of the less odious ones.
It's fine to have Roman heroes. Fabius Maximus is one of mine, along
with the elder Scipio (who also appears on all other decent people's
litses), Sulla and Diocletian.
Get Goggling, Creepster!
