Virgo Vestalis Maxima

As a female I suppose I wouldn't have much of a choice, the paterfamilias would most likely end up marrying me off as soon as possible. But if I could choose, I would want to be a vestal virgin. I'd probably end up being celibate for the rest of my life or face being buried alive ... what a pleasant thought. But on the bright side, I'd be able to bake a lot of mola salsa and at least I would get some damn respect!

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest men in history!

I think patinact is patient? I'm not too sure though..

Yeah I usually use firefox which automatically blocks all pop ups. I clicked on the chat now link without pressing ctrl at the same time which meant the chat applet was blocked. I did it again holding down control when I clicked and it worked but I was still signed in from the previous attempt hehe.

Oh thanks its working now. I think it was just the google toolbar blocking it.

Could someone please tell me how to work this? I click on the webchat icon and then I go through the 'motions' but for some reason no chat applet appears. I apologize for the question that probably has a blatantly obvious answer... Woe is computer illiterate me. By the way thanks a lot for the chat room Moonlapse.

Yeah I suppose men do have urges, but they aren't beasts. Contrary to popular belief humans supposedly possess self control . Men and women for that matter are not completely driven by their urges, we all know what is right and what is wrong. Rape is a decision people make, I find it hard to believe that people have no control over it whatsoever.

That's an interesting concept Zeke, living life to the full just in case.

Please share some of these theories.

Yep, the change in religion to Christianity changed the world drastically. For better or for worse is yet to be decided!

Awww mini-Spurius is adorable. I'll post a pic as soon as I can grab someone's digi cam to use, hopefully soon.

I agree with pompeius magnus, Latin is a language rich in culture and history yet most schools do not even offer their students the opportunity to learn it. I'm currently in my last year at high school and definitely would have been interested in learning Latin at school. Its dissapointing that in New Zealand only a few prestigious schools offer the subject and many students who would like to learn latin, such as myself, are not given the opportunity. Clearly the government does not believe that one of the most influential languages on modern English is important enough to warrant widespread teaching.

The burning of any historical documents is a catastrophic occurance, cultural history is of utmost importance in the development of the people we are today. Knowledge of the past is something to be passed on and cherished, its depressing to know that such valuable and insightful ancient knowledge has been lost to us.
