The best thing on the internet August 31: Prufrock451’s response to the question: Could I destroy the entire Roman Empire during the reign of Augustus if I traveled back in time with a modern U.S. Marine infantry battalion or MEU?

As with anything cool online, this has taken on a life of its own. The speed and intensity of the development of eight chapters of fiction, multiple movie posters and great fan fiction are exhilarating examples of just how quickly communities can spring up and create something interesting online.

Yes, you might be turned off by the military fantasy brewing on reddit, but the fermentation process is delicious.
