There is a link in the article, towards the bottom for some NSFW graffiti.  A lot of self promotion and pooping.  Not always in that order.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

A hojillion years ago when I was a Latin nebbish, one of the great prizes for completing Latin IV was a two-week session studying what was then called "Forbidden Pompeii".  It came along with a vocabulary sheet to assist with some of the more, erm, irregular nouns and verbs...particularly verbs...and well trumped the joy of pubescent discovery associated with translating an unbowlderized Ovid.

Good times...good times...
