Ceaser killed 39,000 Gauls AFTER he won.
It is estimated that there were 4 million Gauls before he came,and 3 million when he left. He murdered these 39,000 as a lesson. The Roman Empire fell.

1. Very well, where do I begin?
My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

Cheers

8. Dayum, how do you beat that bit of prose?
I'm totally in awe. Actually, I'm doing a screen capture and saving it as an example for my older grandson when he's of an age to read it.

13. Well darn, I've never seen an Autin Powers movie.
Probably won't either, not even for that bit of brilliant writing.

18. The first one was actually pretty funny.
That thing about the meat helmets is classic.

3. Comparing those two things is like saying
When I was 6 my room was painted blue, When I was 60 I got hit by a bus and died.

4. If you want to cite historical precedence, first you need to read some history....
Then maybe a little logic.

14. Are you just stating two historical facts or are you trying to draw a causal link between the two?
Because of all the factors that went in to taking down the Romans killing barbarians doesn't even make the list.
