Wait, wait! Is.......that.........RUSSELL CROWE?!?!?!

Ok, who doesn't think of Russell Crowe's "Gladiator" when they see the Colosseum? Wait, is that just me? Whoops. Well, here's the Colosseum. It was really impressive, and it's so amazing that you can just walk up to this part of history and touch it without someone coming up and tackling you. Oh, and I learned that apparently it used to be completely covered in marble, but the city of Rome takes recycling to a whole new level. Apparently they like taking materials from older buildings to make new ones. Soooooo, guess where all the marble from the Colloseum went..........................to God. Yeah, most of it was used to build St. Peter's Basilica. (If any of this info is wrong I have about 12 people that I can blame.) But seriously, who doesn't look at these pictures without hearing the crowd chant "MAXIMUS! MAXIMUS!!!!"? :o)
