It’s just another manic Monday. I wish I could do the rest of this blog entry with song lyric references but I can’t, not without sounding a bit weird. Maybe I’ll try in the future XD
So on this lovely Monday, the first Monday in June, I am bringing to you something relating to ancient Egypt. As is probably evident from my previous blog posts, I love it when people use the ancient world to make a joke, or make at joke at the expense of the ancient world. Basically I just like laughing.
This week we have got a cartoon on a t-shirt!
Yes, I laughed, and I know you did as well! While the Egyptians were excellent builders and they came up with some really good mathematical stuff, you have to wonder if they made the occasional mistake while building some of their awesome monuments. I found this t-shirt in the shop of mayc00p, she’s got some great cartoons in her shop, and the same one in that shirt can also be found on a mug (in case you don’t want it on a t-shirt but still find it funny!).

Zazzle Monday!
Today is a Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK, but I’m still working! Lots to do, including this blog!
So last week we dipped in to the world of ancient Greece with a Sparta hat, this week we are swinging back to the Romans.
What I love about the ancient world is that it can inspire so many things, a desire to learn for example. An inexplicable urge to throw yourself in a trench in Greece and start poking things with a trowel. And humour, lots of humour.
Today I bring to you a postcard that’s poking a little bit of fun at the Roman emperor Nero. Nero was famous for being a nutter, and at the time he considered himself to be a wonderful musician. He liked going to Greece and competing in their musical competitions because he said they were the only ones that could appreciate his talent (they knew what side their bread was buttered and gave him first prize every time). So I had to chuckle when I saw this:
Yes, it’s a Guitar Hero twist on the emperor Nero! Found in the shop of saywhattees, this guy has got some seriously giggle-worthy stuff in his shop so go check it out!

Zazzle Spotlight!
So here we have the inaugural blog post for Creative Classics on blogspot, and I figure it should be something good. And funny, because funny is always good.
Quite frankly I don’t think there are enough funny cartoons about the ancient world. People seem to think that because it was old we shouldn’t laugh at it, I’m sure they think the Greeks didn’t have a sense of humour (which shows that not enough people read Aristophanes). So it is with great joy that I give you this;
Well...I laughed.
That one is from a fridge magnet, you can find other funny cartoons including more history ones at spikeys studio! Definitely check them out because they are VERY giggle-worthy.
