Rome
Why do people say "Rome wasn't built in a day"? I appreciate it wasn't, but name me one city that was.
|
Because they think it makes them sound sophisticated.
|
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!
|
Yeah, as Kahl points out, Rome had the greatest empire for a pretty long time.

Ugh, I want to add more to that post, but I can't, and this isn't the chatroom so I'm not going to double post. Screw that shit.

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

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

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?

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.
