For Those About To Die...


...we salute you...even if you died long ago. What the fuck am I talking about? Gladiator remains found in England:
London, England (CNN) -- Heads hacked off, a bite from a lion, tiger or bear, massive muscles on massive men -- all clues that an ancient cemetery uncovered in northern England is the final resting place of gladiators, scientists have announced after seven years of investigations.

The archeological dig has found "what may be the world's only well-preserved Roman gladiator cemetery," the York Archaeological Trust said.

Scientists have found 80 skeletons in the "unique" cemetery under the city of York, northern England, since 2003.
As a scholar, historian, genius, I find this development absolutely fascinating. Look forward to reading more about these findings.
