This had me laughing so hard.
Is this the gay agenda? Because I’m totally on board with this.
pure gay gold
Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.
I have been waiting for this post all my life.
They are indeed purple,
But one thing you’ve missed:
The concept of “purple”
Didn’t always exist.
Some cultures lack names
For a color, you see.
Hence good old Homer
And his “wine-dark sea.”
A usage so quaint,
A phrasing so old,
For verses of romance
Is sheer fucking gold.
So roses are red.
Violets once were called blue.
I’m hugely pedantic
But what else is new?
My friend you’re not wrong
About Homer’s wine-ey sea!
Colours are a matter
Of cultural contingency;
Words are in flux
And meanings they drift
But the word purple
You’ve given short shrift.
The concept of purple,
My friends, is old
And refers to a pigment
once precious as gold.
By crushing up molluscs
From the wine-dark sea
You make a dye:
Imperial decree
Meant that in Rome,
to wear purpura
was a privilege reserved
For only the emperor!
The word ‘purple’,
for clothes so fancy,
Entered English
By the ninth century
Why then are voilets
Not purple in song?
The dye from this mollusc,
known for so long
Is almost magenta;
More red than blue.
The concept of purple
is old, and yet new.
The dye is red,
So this might be true:
Roses are purple
And violets are blue
The tomb of Ramesses VI in the Egyptian Valley of the Kings already in ancient times was visited by tourists, who signed their names and exchanged remarks reminiscent of discussions on Facebook and tourist forums. Walls of the tomb “spoke” thanks to the research of Prof. Adam Łukaszewicz from the University of Warsaw.
“I visited and I did not like anything except the sarcophagus!”; “I admired!” “I can not read the hieroglyphs!” - these are some of the inscriptions read by the Polish scientists working inside Egypt’s pharaoh Ramesses VI in the Valley of the Kings.
All inscriptions were left by tourists who visited this place about two thousand years ago! Read more.
Tourists behaving badly.
People never change.

I know that “ACAB” is an acronym for All Cops Are Bastards but every time I see it I still think Assigned Cop At Birth
“Sir… Ma’am… it’s a cop.”
“No!! Surely there’s a mistake!”
True fact: my sister briefly considered being a copper for a few weeks as a kid. My Dad was wailing. ‘A daughter of MINE? A pig? Have I taught you NOTHING? Why did I teach you to case places if you were gonna join THEM?’
Then she pointed out the main reason she liked the idea was 'because they’re the biggest gang of bastards in town though, Dad, who’s gonna rat on me then?’.
He was so conflicted. On the one hand, she was clearly considering a career of gang violence, law breaking and petty theft. On the other, she was considering doing it with the fuzz.
Then someone explained to her that police brutality is actually illegal, and that getting away with it wasn’t necessarily guaranteed and she dropped the whole thing and started talking about the mafia instead.
