Snakes, Athena killed then with snakes. She sided with the Greeks, the dude and his sons advised against Troy accepting the horse from the Greeks...you know the rest of the story.

Laocoon was a Trojan priest who warned about the Trojan Horse. Poseidon sent snakes to attack Laocoon and his sons and kill them, cuz he was on the Greeks' side. The Trojans took it as a curse, believed the Horse was a gift from the gods, and took it into the city. Later that night...

This may be the most rational and well-thought out argument for common-sense snake control I've heard.

Their core values include loyalty to the Pope. These are carefully selected individuals.

El Greco was inspired by the old Byzantine aesthetic but added a Renaissance/Mannerist twist. Byzantine art was profoundly spiritual and ethereal. It was meant to lift the viewer's mind and soul to a higher plane of consciousness and worship. Renaissance art was more humanist.Posted by: Kris at April 20, 2021 10:13 AM (OyyDO)

I believe it was the Treaty of Westphalia which created the Swiss Guard as the only legal mercenary force fron Switzerland. Because up until then, Swiss mercenaries were among the most feared troops in Europe, to the point that it was considered to be unfair to hire them to fight for you.

Didn't the Navy, in it's infinite wisdom, for a time, order the deck apes to wear (in season) their whites when making a harbor call? Yeah, go ahead sailor, handle those pristine, spotless lines.

I've bought paint bottles from these people: https://www.automotivetouchup.com/ Oddly enough, they are located near me, but I've always ordered online. Excellent color matching. Be sure to get yourself a couple of small hobby brushes, though; the brush that comes attached to the cap of the paint bottle is far too big and unwieldy to use.
