The word for the day: "Cacor"

This is Latin basically for "Poopyhead".  Tacitus was there when it was excavated which is pretty cool.  It's also cool to know that around 200 AD or so, someone thought that Secundus was a big ole poopyhead, and went to the trouble to carve this into a stone.

I don't think that Glen Filthie was around back then, but maybe his great Grandad? 

The moral?  People weren't so very different 2000 years ago.
