Vagalinski noted that the discovery was made in the Cloaca Maxima sewer, where archaeologists hardly expected to find anything.

I have a friend in Rome by that name!
- He has a wife, you know...
- Ahh, the husband of Incontinentia Buttocks!
- Kind of a long name, do they shorten it to a word or two in daily use or go by the full sentence?
In 2000 years, people are going to be excavating New England and wondering why there are so many Christopher Columbus and Robert E. Lee statues resting on old lake beds.
- Somehow, I don't think they'll consider them works of art worth preserving.

- I'm picturing the god of having little wings growing out of your ankles getting cancelled.
Dammit now I’m gay again

"FINALLY! I THOUGHT IT WOULDN'T EVER TURN BACK UP!"

-A very collection completion obsessed Thracian Pagan
From wiki: "Most scholars derive "Hermes" from Greek ἕρμα (herma),[14] "stone heap."[3]: 177 "

Seems about right.

So a Bulgarian sewer?
- Ok, besides the sewers, what have the Bulgarians ever done for us?!
