And in other news, Bill Clinton announced a rush trip to visit the site to obtain the floor plans.

Hell, the Clinton library has been in Little Rock for....well, months? But the port-a-potties have been there for years. In fact, Klintler was still Governor when first installed.

He only lived to be 29 - somehow I always thought of an old lecher/debaucher when I pictured Caligula.

Caligula's palace...I would have given odds it was in Hope, Arkansas.

Penthouse Magazine made and released a movie named "Caligua". Does anyone know where a tape of the movie can be obtained.

Ah, yes, nubile Roman countesses lounging nekkid, beautiful slave girls popping grapes into one's mouth, gorgeous partician damsels at the baths, wild orgies at the Palatine, all-night gropefests at the Forum, wine flowing in the fountains, lovely hetaerae wearing nothing but body oil and gorging themselves on hummingbird tongue pate, yep, it's just another Saturday night at BtD's place.

...well, that's what's on the television, anyhow. (Sigh...)

Went to a lecture on Roman Sculpture a few months ago. One of the pieces that was discussed was a bust of "Boots" Caligula.
Was in the 42nd St. library about a week later, just off the main entrance they have busts of distinguished classical figures. Imagine my surprise, "Yo Boots, it's I, JBT"!
I'm quite sure whoever put it up didn't realize of whom it was a likeness.
