Not sure if this group, which is aware of how wrong public history can be, will find a lot here.
So, an erect penis was a sign of good luck, eh? Ah those wacky Romans....

Myth#10 – The Erect Male Member is Not Always Apotropaic. In Pompeii, guides will tell you that phalluses point the way to brothels. Experts tell you the erect member was a symbol of good luck, used against the "evil eye". But to bust a busted myth: sometimes the phallus DID point the way to a brothel.
no wonder Mirth has such bad luck.

Good, except they didn't show the lightening that is cause by all the superheated dust particles as seen in the Icelandic eruption a few years ago.
The did show the lightning, but only in one 'scene'.
I thought it was odd that they shifted perspective for the pyroclastic cloud -- the progression of which didn't make much sense to me.
