Saturday Morning with Ulix

I found out some disturbing secrets about Ulix this morning. He made me laugh so hard!

"You don't know what I'm like when you're gone"

Ulix failing his backflips 

 "Hi, my name is Ulix and I like to fail my backflips."

"Thinking of nice things that could happen... for you"

"Don't look at those tapes!"

Nap nook

There were so many subjects in a math and physics library that I wanted to learn. I read a passage in a book about combinatoric computer algorithms. Thinking about difficult things made me sleepy.

I wrote "Carthago Delenda Est" on a chalkboards. I learned it in Latin class in 9th grade. It means "Carthage must be destroyed". No compromise, no weakness, no pity on our enemies! 

Cato the Elder, a Roman senator, used to end every speech with that catch phrase when the Romans were fighting the Carthaginians, and also when they were at peace!

Cato the Elder who, after a voyage to Carthage, ended all his speeches, no matter what the topic, by saying: "Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam" – "And I also think that Carthage must be destroyed". - Wikipedia

After three Punic Wars, Rome finally sacked, razed, and salted the city of Carthage. By the last war, the Carthage was defenseless against the military strength of the Roman empire and in no position to pose a threat. Roman leadership just wanted an excuse to pound their civilization out of existence, because they were the enemy and might one day come back for revenge.

That's just how people are. Yesterday and today and will be tomorrow.

So help raise awareness by pointing it out the folly of human nature!
