That's why Allah decided to show himself to Mohammed next, because people in rural areas of Middle East back then were on much lower state of development and haven't heard of mental illnesses yet and they believed him.

Jackass level over 9,000!!!!!

He thought it was a funny joke to put sand in the anal lubricant at the mid-week orgy....


So it was justified.

And I heard the parties had become lame.

Executed for dereliction of duty.

Nonsense. He attacked the Senate, robbed from the rich to give to himself, protected his position by bribing the army, declared himself divine, and embarked on a number of ego-boosting building projects. These are all things emperors are supposed to do.

He fulfilled his duty in grand style.

They didn't kill Caligula.

Caligula killed them then rewrote history.

He retired to Ireland.

The powerful regardless of religion or class, or nationality are all about power. Our species flaw is not understanding Sagan's Pale Blue Dot speech.

He awarded the Praetorians with a well-deserved bonus for honorable duty and services rendered.

He also wanted to move the empire's capital from Rome to Alexandria. This may have been the last straw for the senate and the praetorian guard who had already lost most of their influence to control his lunacy. One of the chief assassins, Cassius Chaerea, may also have had republican motives for killing Caligula.

Powerful people are about power. Brilliant.
