I was told once to forget about the camera. Forget about taking pictures, and just look. So, look:
As most of you probably know, Pompei was buried by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in around 79 CE. The city has now been excavated, with amazingly well-preserved mosaics and artwork. Walking through Pompei was haunting, and especially chilling was seeing the preserved bodies. Bodies are positioned lying down, clutching to one another, and twisted and writhing in pain. These people never stood a chance.
But! On the flip side, Pompeians must have enjoyed life! They loved sex, and anything of the fallic nature. Instead of your standard deer’s head mounted above your mantle, you have you standard set of oversized testicles. Same difference, right? The above photo is only one small example among thousands of relics.
Needless to say, I got used to seeing racks full of dick postcards really quick.
