Title: Ancient Greeks Used Laptops!
Post by: LongBlade on February 08, 2016, 05:18:45 PM
That's right, folks. The ancient Greeks used laptops. And now we have proof.

(https://www.grogheads.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1081.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fj349%2Flongblade%2FGrogHeads%2Fgreek-statue.jpg&hash=80a14bfa37857f45f9f6f57ff1450f34b8ea8695)

If there were any doubt, this conspiracy theory YouTube vid should settle the controversy once and for all.



A counter argument from a "science" website can, of course, be safely ignored: http://www.livescience.com/53629-greek-statue-not-using-laptop.html

Those ancient laptops were pretty fast. It only took a minotaur two to boot up.

Sigh. They are still using PS2 keyboard and mouse ports. Obviously prior to the Usb dynasty.
