a drama in which a short fat roman and a tall skinny roman defeat an armada fictional greek monsters and rescue the princess of Troy.  Along the way a corpulent monsters try to jump on your head, eat you, and give you magic flutes.
Its basically an epic... like The Divine Comedy.

Gender determination of a fetus(although to be fair some today fail to grasp this).

You skipped me! Or is that how you'd explain the United States to a medieval person?

In reference to Svarte Troner:

Sort of like the Dutch Republic, but covering a continent larger than all of Europe. A place where looking like a starving peasant is attractive.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

Easy, the belief that neither god nor satan exist. Explaining that it isn't a mental sickness or satanism would take longer though.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

a rythmic oral peom usually about the despair of being poor yet free enough to want more.  The subject matter is usually about booze, opiates, currency, sex, or tribal war.
