Greek/Roman times championship (help on memory tricks)

**Kangaxx** · 12-01-2010 06:59 PM

So there's a Greek/Roman time (I guess you can call it Ancient Times) championship going on in our republic on April 1st (nope, it's not an April Fools joke). The requirement there is, pretty much, to have memorized everything you can about Ancient Times.

Any tips on how to increase memory?

That's insanity. Antiquity (vaguely defined by the sounds of it) in every field must all be memorized.

How. What. Is it a quiz? I wouldn't even know where to start with that.

Greeks did it, Romans stole it and the Chinese made gunpowder. Everybody else were barbarians.

Cite Catallus always.

Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo,
Aureli pathice et cinaede Furi,
qui me ex versiculis meis putastis,
quod sunt molliculi, parum pudicum.
nam castum esse decet pium poetam
ipsum, versiculos nihil necesse est;
qui tum denique habent salem ac leporem,
si sunt molliculi ac parum pudici,
et quod pruriat incitare possunt,
non dico pueris, sed his pilosis
qui duros nequeunt movere lumbos.
vos, quod milia multa basiorum
legistis, male me marem putatis?
pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo.

I will sodomize you and face-fuck you,
Cock-sucker Aurelius and catamite Furius,
You who think, because my verses
Are delicate, that I am immodest.
For it's right for the devoted poet to be chaste
Himself, but it's not necessary for his verses to be so.
Verses which then have taste and charm,
If they are delicate and sexy,
And can incite an itch,
And I don't mean in boys, but in those hairy old men
Who can't get their flaccid dicks up.
You, because you have read of my thousand kisses,
You think I'm a sissy?
I will sodomize you and face-fuck you.

Furius and Aurelius called some of Catellus' poetry girlish and soppy (and Furius was making tha moves of Catellus' boyfriend which is way not cool) so Catellus reacted with this.

Just quote this ad nauseum and you're golden.

Yeah Antiquity. It's going to be a quiz.
