I like that you can see the exact point where the glaciers stopped flattening things out. Like "oh, there's something more than 10 feet tall! Impressive!"

For all that I question the historicity of Caligula's madness as fact... Holy shit this is one of the best episodes of TV ever made. A true villain masterpiece and my favorite part of I, Claudius.

If they're able to do actual attendance, my kid started Code Ninjas when they were 9ish and it's gone great. It's all "real" stuff too, so they have the basics for each language they used
