Update Schedule
I've decided to resurrect this old thing. I'm moving to a Tuesday and Thursday schedule to ration my content to better fit my own personal schedule and I've already got a month's worth of material written and ready to go. So if anyone is reading this, stick around. I've got some cool stuff for you.
Dusting this thing off: Dead or Alive?
By Dead or Alive? I don't mean this blog, which currently exists in a state of quantum indeterminacy until I decide whether or not to post this, but today's featured website. Dead or Alive?, a website that has a big list of celebrities and other notable people and whether or not they have kicked the bucket. It can sort them by name, date, birthday, occupation, etc. Useful if you want to know if that guy, whatsis name, who played on that show, you know, that guy. Is he still around?

Graffiti from Pompeii (ADULT CONTENT)
In the year 79 CE, a volcano named Mount Vesuvius erupted, covering the Roman city of Pompeii under a thick layer of volcanic ash and killing its inhabitants. This city lay buried, preserved for the ages until being discovered 1748. Pompeii has given us unique insight into how the ancient Romans lived and worked, due to the circumstances of its death it has been preserved very well. One thing we have learned is that Graffiti was just as common in ancient Rome as it is today. Only back then it was carved in stone.
This website has translations of much of the graffiti found on the walls of Pompeii buildings. As warning: like modern graffiti, much of this graffiti is definitely not the sort of thing you want your children reading. It contains explicit references to sex and other such things, so if you are offended by that sort of stuff you probably won't want to follow this link. But I found it terribly interesting. It proves that the ancient Romans were kind of like us.
