    Look man, if it was up to me, every single title to every video on TH-cam would have lots of amazing profanity. But they've got arbitrary rules on what I can and can't put there, so enjoy your free asterisk.

    When the Spaniards arrived at the Yucatan peninsula they asked the natives there what the name of their land was. The natives replied in their language “I don't know what you're saying” and the Spaniards took it as one word and now the name of that place is the "Yucatan peninsula"

    The thing that impresses me the most about Roman graffiti is that I feel like it's also a good indicator about how surprisingly literate city-dwelling Romans were. We know there were schools and teachers for the upper class and some of these boys were probably among those crass and bored enough to write these graffiti, but I feel like their omnipresence in these preserved cities makes it much more likely that these were simple commoners who had to learn to read and write in order to get by one way or another.

    There was a map found in a home in Pompeii, and above the town where mount vesuvia had been drawn, smoke was added above it. Someone had taken the time during a horrifying event to record it, not knowing if anyone they knew or loved would survive. They were funny, and they were philosophical, and they sought to be remembered after they were gone. They were human.

    Fun fact, that "weep you girls" graffito is actually a poem written as an elegiac couplet, so it can be sung like the works of the greatest poets.
    "Vōs mea dēservit iam verpa dolēte puellae
    pēdīcat cūlum cunne superbe valē"
    "-" represents a long syllable and "u" a short one. In this poem, "x" is long (though it can be a short syllable in the place of a long one in some other poems). A ˈ means the syllable is stressed (which in Latin is independent from syllable length, though you can use said length to know where stress will fall).
    A vowel with a - over it is held for around twice the length. Any syllable ending in a consonant is also held at that consonant for longer.
    - u u / - - / - - / - u u / - u u / - x
    - - / - - / - / - u u / - u u / x
    ˈVōs ˈme a / dē ˈser / vit jam / ˈver pa do / ˈlē te pu / el lae

    Pompeii was more sh*tposty than most, I suspect. Don't ever forget the guy covered in ash after the volcano exploded who was holding onto his junk, in a desperate race against time to rub one out before the poison cloud overwhelmed him (you know he failed because his hand was still there)
