Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, admiral of Octavian, defeats Sextus Pompeius, son of Pompey, thus ending Pompeian resistance to the Second Triumvirate.

Good times.

I always hang a Pompeius head on my porch to celebrate! What about you?

I tried finding the video for this and this page seems to be pointing at other things altogether.

I simply do not believe this ever happened. If it did why is there no video on YouTube?

Didn't the Monkees or somebody have a song about it?

I go with the Agrippa statue holding a broadsword.

I participle in a number of "Battle of Nachos" reenactments.

We can't do that in the living room anymore.

The Maillard Reaction

This story seems familiar.

Has it been lifted from the original Star Trek pilot?

Yes, I believe it was surgically removed from Sulu.

This process was later duplicated and used to create all Hollywood movies.

IIRC wasn't there absolute, irrefutable proof of weapons of mass destruction which was later proven untrue.

You are correct. It was a typo.

Weasels of Mast Distribution.

This event also marked one of the last times a major political power relied on weasels for ship design. In more recent years, this practice was resumed by Carnival Cruise Lines.
