Yes, Casca< "Speak, hands, for me." Although I don't know if Casca was a senator, I suppose he could have been...

Hmm, I just assumed Casca was a senator. Janitor? Caesar whacked by a deadly mop?

Okay...my turn: MORE HISTORY

What civilization built the first asphalt road?

Rome?

Post by **matrixman** » Thu Feb 26, 2004 9:09 am

Sorry, Ur-Vile. Earlier than Rome.

Damn!

Egypt.

Mahenja-Daro in the Indus Valley? (just a guess, dAN is prolly right...)

Post by **dANdeLION** » Thu Feb 26, 2004 6:39 pm

..or was it the ancient Asphaltian Empire?

Post by **matrixman** » Thu Feb 26, 2004 7:24 pm

Sorry, dAN, it wasn't Egypt, but you're close. Think Egypt's neighbours.

(As far as I know, the Asphaltians didn't build the road first, they just patented the name.

Mesopotamia?

Post by **matrixman** » Thu Feb 26, 2004 8:14 pm

Mesopotamia is the correct region, but which people of that region?

Post by **aTOMiC** » Thu Feb 26, 2004 8:33 pm

Well, lets go down the list. Babylonians perhaps.

Post by **danlo** » Thu Feb 26, 2004 9:23 pm

Sumerians

Post by **matrixman** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 2:27 am

TOM C has the correct answer! It was the ancient Babylonians who constructed the first asphalt road.

Over to you, TOM C. (Meanwhile dAN gets ready to kill me...)

I've already sent Agent Smith for you....

Post by **matrixman** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 3:12 pm

Smith and I are kinda like The Odd Couple

So where's good ol' TOM C? We're starving for more silly trivia here.

Post by **dANdeLION** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 7:13 pm

He's out sick today. I gave him a lot of grief over it, and expect him back tomorrow.

Waitaminnit. I just answered your question; does that mean it's my turn now?

Post by **matrixman** » Tue Mar 02, 2004 2:30 am

Since no one else has volunteered to further the cause of useless knowledge...go for it, great dANdeLION!

Allright, here's a softball. In the movie "Conan", James Earl Jones portrayed Thulsa Doom, who was not an enemy of Conan in the Robert E. Howard books. Who was Conan's true enemy, and who was Thulsa Doom's?
