How often do you think about the Roman Empire?
- When I need to last.
  
  Does it work? I just need to sustain, not decimate
  
  Epic self-burn?
- Not as much as their republic
I think it's called a rabbit hole because rabbits live there.
- Actually it's a reference to Alice in Wonderland.
  
  Yes, I've been down a rabbit hole rabbit hole.
- Historically
there were once Romans there
The word skeleton comes from the Ancient Greek word skeletós, which means "dried up".
- Does that mean Skeletor is one who dries people?
  
  Skeletor is Ben Shapiro's alter ego confirmed!
- Word skeletons are just strings of letters...I thought.
Kind of weird since Roman's where like everywhere in eruope at one point.
- Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders.
  
  Till this day!!!?
- Not so much north of the Rhine, which still leaves a lot of Europe Roman-free.
- Not Romania though, well…old Romania yes, but they moved it
  
  (They controlled present Romania as well)
  
  Lol wtf, sounds like a interesting history.
(the rabbit hole was literally just the first paragraph on Wikipedia about Romania)
- Started at Information Retrival and ended up at collective intelligence.
  
  Thank you, wikipedia, for good exploratory search
I guess it would have been faster if he just looked in the bears cave instead of a rabbit hole.
- It is known that bear caves typically contain libraries on etymology of country names.
And then they eunt domus.
- eunt domus
  
  Spoilers for Life of Brian, which I still need to see. But seems pretty funny.

One of the many places that claim to be the real descendant of the Roman Empire.
- According to the anthem, romanians claim to have the blood of the romans and the name of Trajan, meaning that everyone in Romania had fathers that had fathers that had fathers... that were the sons of the roman emperor that conquered Dacia
- We've never claimed that.
  
  If I remember it right, you used the name of the people that used the name of the people that claimed that.
The language they speak is also not a Slavic language but closer to Italian.
- They’re smarter than the average bear for sure.
  
  Those caves are an intelligent bunch of holes.
Romania used to be called Dacia before the Romans committed genocide over there. It was named after the car brand.
Modern cave came from Old French which took it from Latin cavea
Maybe it's a soy sauce situation. Bears are named after bears cave.
Its called bears cave because bears made it
Is bare cave a pleonasm?
