Xerxes is kind
 
Xerxes is a generous god
 
Unlike the cruel Leonidas who demands that you stand, Xerxes requires only that you kneel
 
Xerxes’ slaves fear his divine powers, not the lash
 
Xerxes conquers and controls everything he rests his eyes upon
 
Xerxes leads an army so massive it shakes the ground with its march, so vast it drinks the rivers dry
 
All the god-king Xerxes requires is a simple offering of earth and water as a token of your submission to the will of Xerxes
 
It is blasphemy and madness to threaten a messenger no matter whether you are Persian or Greek
 
When a king is as loved as Xerxes there is much that can be accomplished

The name ‘rapeseed’ comes from the Latin word for turnip, rapum.
 
Similarly, the ‘Rape of the Sabine Women’ comes from the Latin word raptio, meaning ‘mass kidnapping,’ and thus was not a rape according to this website’s definition of the term (although the intended purpose of the kidnapping was to breed with them, so maybe it is, in a roundabout way).

Dear Reader Kim Jong Ir was born of a virgin unicorn on the summit of Mt. Paektu when a new star created a double rainbow. Dear Reader invented the hamburger, shot a hole-in-one every time when he played golf, and never had a bowel movement.

Built in 1930 the Chrysler Building was both the first “supertall” building ever made (300 meters) and the first building to ever surpass 1,000 feet.
 
The Burj Khalifa, built in 2010, was the first “megatall” building (600 meters). It is one of only 4 completed megatall buildings, and remains the tallest. It is also the only building to exceed 700 meters (full height 829.8 meters). It will likely be the world’s tallest building for a very, very long time, with the only planned building designed to be taller, the Jeddah Tower, has been on hold since 2018 after the Saudi government was purged.

Art deco architecture is better than the crap they build now.

@Twiface  
All architecture is better than this fake-industrial garbage everyone is building now. It’s a knockoff of the second worst era for architecture, the 70s.

Architecture began going downhill with the Modernists at the beginning of the 20th century and it’s never recovered.
