There's restrictions on use of AP, so there's the caption up there, and you'll have to visit the site for the photo.

Marcus, now there was a guy you could trust.
One of the last good ones.

Freaky.

Data’s head being in San Francisco getting dusty for five hundred years — before he uses it.

AARRGGHH!!

Best book I was ever given in high school was “Meditations’ by Marcus Aurelius.

:”) That’s also one of Slick’s supposed favorites. Odd, there’s no nude photos anywhere in it!

[Bogie]

Yeah, one of the greatest guys who ever walked the earth.

[SunkenCiv]

Peter Gabriel did it.

[LongWayHome]

Lol, who knew 42 was a fan. He did not take the book to heart, that’s for sure.

[HombreSecreto]

Are you not entertained?

[Red Badger]

Must have been an old book.....................

[SunkenCiv]

Not a documentary, but they did a great job with that opening battle scene.
