There’s like a billion sources, but I think in the story, the horse was supposedly left by the Greeks as an offering to the gods (Poseidon?) for safe passage home across the sea. And then the Trojans saw the Greeks had left, and stole the horse to fuck them over.

But the Greeks had anticipated that, and were lying about leaving anyway. They knew if they left it there, then the Trojans would steal the horse and bring it into the city, so they hid inside and then sprang out to kill the guards and open the gates for the rest of the army. So it wasn’t a gift for the Trojans. Also, I think somebody did say that it was a trap, but they were ignored or killed somehow

Romeo and Juliet

Apply Directly To The Forehead.

The old C&H comics are so inconsistent. Sometimes I just read it and “yeah, I get the joke, but meh” or “that was dark then but aged very poorly,” and sometimes I read it, then 2 seconds later I burst out laughing. I don’t really why this one is funny, as it’s literally just shitting on someone and then subverting expectations, but it had me giggling a lot.

This screenshot does not do the actual cheese eating justice. They basically put cones on the contestants (like the ones that you put on your cat/dog to keep them from licking after surgery), then grated Parmesan directly into their mouths for a minute to see how much they could eat. And they were competing against their previous best, which had competed against their previous best. It was chaos. Game Changer is an amazing show

My parents, who are in their sixties have…one of those? Which is actually pretty good. Dream small, friends!

That’s far out, dude. It’s rad that they can be so chill when they’ve got these bogus airheads smacking righteous dudes. KK, G2G, l8er sk8ers!
