| Hi, my name is Nero Claudius Caesar. You can call me Nero. I was not only a great Emperor, I was a great artist too. The Greeks awarded me several prizes. My best talent was playing with fire. I set Rome ablaze burning it to the ground. I watched it burn while reciting poetry. I only did it to make room for a bigger and better palace, with flushing toilettes. I blamed the Christians for the blaze, not so much because I needed a scapegoat, but more importantly because Christians taste better than pork chops, that is, of course, if the one doing the tasting is a lion . . . I was really a great leader. I was the best. Honest! |
