#3 455 � The Vandals enter Rome, and plunder the city for two weeks.

Yep, do a little tourist romp in Rome fifteen hundred years ago, and you're blamed for every act of destruction by any punk miscreant in the neighborhood even today.

#4 Actually the Vandals weren't the worst of the nunch, they did not destroy the cities they plundered.

Sustainable plundering back then.

Who REALLY ruined Italy a century later were Byzantine bureaucrats.

We let the locals keep the oil to sale it at a higher price to the Chinese, so they can turn around and buy worthless Treasury Bonds. Did someone mention Byzantine?

#10 These days they'd probably wanna give Polly some, uh, ahem, breast augmentation. Does that term make it past the filter? But there's more to a pretty girl than being top heavy...like a pretty face and long, slender legs.
