1. Oh Hell No.
People would swear that kids are going be corrupted just by seeing it. Boys will turn gay and girls will become promiscuous. And besides, it surely promotes paganism.
:wow:

4. One of the many things that I admire about the "ancients"

2. Each coin would have to be covered with tiny blue drapes
We might have to stop the Iraq occupation in order to fund such a thing - oh noes!

17. It was on YouTube...
Alas, the mighty phalluses of NBC pulled it.

There are a boatload of "more cowbell" reenactors on there, though...

11. Priapus was a fertility god, his main feature being the fact that he was constantly erect.
Hence the medical condition named after him: Priapism. :)

13. He's a Silen,
associated with the god of wine, Dionysus.


Isn't a Priapus a hybrid car?

:D

20. Priapus is also associated with wine occasionally...
mostly the fertility/harvest part, not the drinking it part. :)
