    Yes...and also a Windows computer, but that doesn't make sense either.

    I should stay up late more often. I can't type for shit, but damn, everything just becomes clear, man.

    Ok, back on topic... It's most commonly referred to as a droid, or if you're referring to the operating system "the android os".... But seriously back to ancient Rome, I was enjoying reading about it.

    What killed Hannibal was the alps. I want you to imagine men from Spain, and North Africa dressed in linen attempting to cross Switzerland. Linen offers absolutely no protection from cold. Elephants were a big mistake keeping Hannibal in the alps an extra week killing off more of his army. Imagine if Hannibal had double the size of his army heading into Italy.

    And yet he still won many battles against the Romans. And his elephants also played an integral part in that. Don't be so stupid.

    30,000 men > 37 elephants when 75% are going to die from harsh weather anyways. HMMMMMM a hard choice!
    Not only that but do you have any idea how much food it requires to feed elephants. Even more so all of Hannabil's elephants died out before Canae. Even more so he didn't fucking need them Canae proves that.

    The point is going through the Alps did not doom Hannibal.

    Agreed my point is going through the alps with summer equipment and having it be extended even longer doomed Hannibal.
    EDIT: A plague eventually spread through the ranks of dead soldiers even because when they died they were declothed and people would start wearing clothes with desiese in it.

    Well, he IS 13...

    Then again he probably just doesn't realize he can get rid of a picture by using backspace. So easy even a dutchman can do it.
