Caesar's Invasion of Britain + Quote!

I have one of those page-a-day calendars on my desk for work. This is the third year I've had one ^.^ This year, instead of a daily comic, I picked up "The Dangerous Book for Boys." There was a similar one for girls, but that all had stuff about etiquette and what-not. The DBB had cool trivia and how to make paper airplanes XD

In any case, for the past couple days, the pages have been giving information on Julius Caesar's invasions of Britain in 55 and 54 BC. It's been really interesting, and I thought I'd share some of the tidbits.

In 55 BC, Caesar's Romans first landed on the beaches in Kent. The Britons (which means "painted ones") fought in the water with their dogs to prevent the ships with soldiers from reaching the shore. Caesar's personal account of this battle actually marks the first reference of a specific domesticated dog breed - the English mastiff. ^.^ The surviving Roman soldiers, including Caesar, ended up coming to a truce with the Britons, but they came back in 54 BC with a huge army: 800 ships, five legions of troops, and 2000 cavalrymen. Fortunately for the Britons, a huge storm hit at the same time and decimated Caesar's ships and troops. With his remaining armies, Caesar marched north and wiped out a bunch of tribes before finally agreeing to peace terms. Then he left and never returned (due to being distracted by Cleopatra and then being stabbity-stabbed).

Work Quote of the Day (I'm not certain of the context):

Mmm, Spam Emails

Hi! It's my first post of the new year, and it's going to be about spam emails. Woo!

Spam email titles are usually pretty entertaining if you bother to look (just at the subjects, mind you - don't go opening that stuff). What's slightly alarming is that they're supposed to be sinisterly targeted at their audience. That being said, I have to wonder what these people think about me (and how in the freaking world did I manage to get on their lists in the first place, because seriously). The spam emails I received today:
Watches with bling
Improve the look of your kitchen cabinets
Did you suffer a gall bladder injury while using Birth Control?
You may qualify for an electric wheelchair at little or no cost
As Seen on TV: Watch Over 4500 Channels
Miracle Anti-Aging Pill

The only conclusion I can reach is that the internet thinks I'm an aspiring rapper/interior designer with a crippling gall bladder injury who's aging poorly in front of a television. Thanks a lot, internet. Jerk.

I do want to make a shout out to the As Seen on TV spammers, though. They had the only properly capitalized email subject. Good job.
