Did you know that the brand name "Thermos" actually comes from "Thermopylae"? Like, keeping cool under heat, see?

Thermoyplae means "Hot Gates", because there are springs nearby.

And kids, read 300 (it good), but DON'T TREAT IT AS A HISTORY LESSON, I BEG OF YOU. Frank Miller couldn't have gotten it more wrong.

I bet he could've if he'd tried. 300 is sorely lacking in ninjas and astronauts.

Plus, I'm not sure if that Thermos thing is even true. Somebody told me in my Greek and Roman history class. The etymology ("therm" = warm/hot) seemed plausible. I don't like hot drinks, so whatever.

The Immortals look a lot like Ninjas. All that's actually missing are the astronauts. Oh, and historical correctness.

There was a famous japanese battle that actually happened this month thousands of years ago. They had to fight a giant enemy crab, and hit it in its weakpoint for massive damage

Did they swap weapons in the middle of the battle?

No, you can be a history nerd.

And I don't even understand most of those super smash brothers combos. I just grab a lot.
