From THE LIFE OF BRIAN
BRIAN: Larks’ tongues. Wrens’ livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars’ earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get ‘em while they’re hot. They’re lovely. Dromedary pretzels, only half a denar. Tuscany fried bats.

BRIAN: Larks’ tongues. Otters’ noses. Ocelot spleens.

REG: Got any nuts?

BRIAN: I haven’t got any nuts. Sorry. I’ve got wrens’ livers, badgers’ spleens—

REG: No, no, no.

BRIAN: Otters’ noses?

REG: I don’t want any of that Roman rubbish.

JUDITH: Why don’t you sell proper food?

BRIAN: Proper food?

REG: Yeah, not those rich imperialist tit-bits.

BRIAN: Well, don’t blame me. I didn’t ask to sell this stuff.

REG: All right. Bag of otters’ noses, then.

FRANCIS: Make it two.

“...a formerly enslaved individual...”

---

I like how Smithsonian uses the now politically-correct phase instead of the more concise “a former slave”. I’m quite sure if you could go back in time and ask him, he’d say he used to be a slave, rather than ‘an enslaved individual’. And, of course, the same would be true of former slaves in the U.S.

He doesn’t look a day over 1900 years old.

Is that 79 BC or 79 AD?
