Rome

[Bod]

Why do people say "Rome wasn't built in a day"? I appreciate it wasn't, but name me one city that was.

[Dixie]

Because they think it makes them sound sophisticated.

[MetalMilitia]

Perhaps the saying has its routes in Byzantine culture. It's like how people say "call a spade a spade". You could say anything in place of spade but the saying is most probably an agricultural reference and as such it's stuck that way.

That fish was 5 feet long if it was an inch!

I'm reading valis right now and according to it we've been living in the timeless roman empire since 70 ce!

[Pub Lover]

Yeah, as Kahl points out, Rome had the greatest empire for a pretty long time.

Training Map City.

[Evil Robot]

I can name several that were destroyed in a day like New Orleans and Dresden.

[VaporTrailx1]

Or Hiroshimi, Nagasaki, Covington, I think Sherman burned Atlanta down in a day.

[pac-man]

Training Map City was also destroyed in a day.

I see an oil power plant in there, did it's economy collapse into a Mad Max like scenario?

[Guitar Woman]

God damnit, pac man, when I saw this thread I went and reinstalled Sim City 3000 just so I could make a joke like that.

God I hope so.

And all apologies, GW. I've got a rep around here for being painfully annoying and hopelessly unfunny. I can't let that slide just because the summer's over.
