If Ancient Rome Had the Internet …

Posted by Alex in Blog & Internet on April 4, 2007 at 2:25 pm


If ancient Rome had the Internet, here’s a list of what would’ve happened:

- The destruction of Pompeii in 79AD is the most viewed video at YouTube. The first comment is…"OMG so cool! Volcanos ROCK!"

- Attila the Hun has his own MySpace page. Nobody ever rejects his "invite a friend" emails.

- The soothsayer’s "Ides of March" email fails to get Caesar’s proper attention as it’s inadvertently filtered into his junk folder.

-"Naked Cleopatra" is the top search term on Google.

    “OMG so cool! Volcanos ROCK!”

    Actually, that wouldn’t have been the first comment, because until then there was no word for “volcano” in Latin.

    FACT.

    I think the first comment would be “fuck off you foreigners!!”…

    But anyway… There are more mistakes because Romans never used ‘0′ (zero character) as number…
