I'm having a bit of an existential, morning crisis because I think I know where this photo was shot (in my local area) and the guy who walked baked as a local "celebrity".
go on then, enlighten us
walked baked as a local "celebrity"
I'm sure he's baked, but did you notice he's also naked
Don’t forget Aspasia! History has been trying for centuries.
Should probably be in Pythagoras's place considering he might be fictional.
Fair point.
If we ever get a screen portrayal of Diogenes, it's got to be cast with Jason Mantzoukas or I don't want it.
Knowing Hollywood, they'd probably cast Jack Black
Or Chris Pratt.
I didn't known the name of Jason Mantzoukas, but seeing you're comment, I instantly recognised him from just guessing who you meant based on the meme provided.
For reference
Lol he is a gem. I love anything he is in. He had some great appearances on The Kroll Show among others.
That's one of the less extreme scenes he's done and it's still pure gold . Just once in my life I want to break a beer bottle on a bar and make a completely insane threat. Is that too much to ask?
I would like to propose Michael from Vsauce as a second option
If Zeus meant for us to wear clothes we would have been born wearing a toga.
Wearing a toga was an actual bitch.
Like white tie but 10x more complex. There were slaves who's sole purpose was putting on their master's toga.
Putting on a toga was difficult, not to say burdensome activity. The strip of fabric was folded lengthwise, one end was thrown over the left shoulder, a toga was placed over the back, the other end was passed under the right shoulder and thrown over the left shoulder from the front. To facilitate this extremely careful activity, richer citizens had a special slave for this purpose, called vestiplicus.

Also... Zeus is Greek, the Roman equivalent would be Jupiter.
How about Euclid with his mathematical sex cult
I prefer non-euclidean sex cults
Now you're thinking with portals
Didn't Pythagoras have a cult too? What is it about geometry that makes people crazy?
It's geometry, if you do it for a living and stay sane, you're doing it wrong.
That’s a cynical take
