Never understood why they ended the war in Vietnam. I was just getting warmed up. Huh

Roman emperors, good or evil, had quite low life expectancy. Except the one that I don't recall his name that resigned to run a farm in Dacia. When asked if he wanted to return to be emperor, he said he was quite happy with his cabbage, etc. Can't blame the guy.

As for Caligula, well, dunno, mabe it was because of the horse thing lel.

I need to know what the sisters looked like before making a choice.

Based on their statues, two of the three were missing noses, and the third was missing part of her nose.  Otherwise, not bad at all.

Well, you're ex-Navy, so...a year without putting into a port (euphemistically or otherwise) and subsisting primarily on grain alcohol.

RE: Why Do You Think They Killed Caligula?
They killed Caligula because he was Allah's first prophet (proto Muhammad) so they killed him because they thought he was crazy since he claimed to hear voices from God.

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.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
