people who write classics papers are fucking weird, man. i was reading an essay about aristotle’s de motu animalium and instead of framing it like a normal person, the author decided to basically write fanfiction of aristotle and democritus arguing over aristotle’s philosophical beliefs

[thoodleoo]

ah yes. “let us provide aristotle with an imaginary opponent,” the most normal sentence ever

also just so you know democritus thinks aristotle is full of shit

The Loch Ness Sonar Sweep: On October 9th of 1987, 24 boats used state of the art X-16 sonar to sweep the entire length and depth of Loch Ness in search of the infamous monster. Before it was all said and done they had captured the signal of a strong sonar image of a “very large object” moving deep along the bottom of the loch, at high speed. #babettebombshell #hauntedhotel #cryptozoology #seaserpents #seamonsters #lochness #thelochnessmonster #nessie #monsterhunting #fortean #xfiles

Do you think that a state would be well ordered by a law which compelled every man stop being horny, and abstain from what is not his own?

A temperate state will be a well-ordered state.
