Archeologist report finding a remarkably well-preserved statue of Hermes inside a Roman sewer in the southwestern Bulgaria.
Vagalinski noted that the discovery was made in the Cloaca Maxima sewer, where archaeologists hardly expected to find anything.
I have a friend in Rome by that name!
Kind of a long name, do they shorten it to a word or two in daily use or go by the full sentence?
In 2000 years, people are going to be excavating New England and wondering why there are so many Christopher Columbus and Robert E. Lee statues resting on old lake beds.
I'm picturing the god of having little wings growing out of your ankles getting cancelled.

From wiki: "Most scholars derive "Hermes" from Greek ἕρμα (herma),[14] "stone heap."[3]: 177 "
Seems about right.
