Not unreasonable ideas, but I like the idea of one of those mountain-traversing elephants recoiling at something as pedestrian as a snake.
Yeah.. they're a ton of fun, and it helps that they're pretty plentiful. I'll bite: Commodus was emperor, son of emperor, husband to the wife of...

If you're suggesting Athena was Borg then 1. This thread just became better than almost any other entertainment in my life and 2. I believed we...
