Exhibit A: Can you tell what’s wrong with this picture? That man has King Leonidas’s head plastered on in a really shitty GIF way. The title of the video implies there are other techno remixes of “This is Sparta!”. It has over 17 million views. I’m watching it, too. In case didn’t cause you to … Continue reading
It’s 3:42am and I’m not getting any work done, like I should be. I drank all my coffee. I’m not tired. I’m just not getting any work done. Yeah. Yeah, that’s about right. Via.
