For those who are curious about our fascination with "Little Boots," the throughly mad emperor of Rome, allow me to refer you to a definitive, oft-quoted source.

Suetonius' Life of Caligula from "Twelve Caesars".

Italian police might have found intriguing evidence pointing to the long-lost villa of the incestuous and lunatic emperor Caligula, according to a report by the Italian daily Corriere della Sera.

A thousand years from now:

Chinese police in the People's Protectorate of Illinois have found intriguing evidence pointing to the long-lost villa of the Marxist and lunatic president 0bama, according to a report by the Xinhua News Agency's U.S. Bureau.
