I was never allowed to eat at Sbarro's as a kid (there was one in the local mall but my mom was a single mother and didn't like spending unless we had to) and now there aren't any Sbarro's near me.
My original comment is a bastardized referrence to The Office.

Reply to comment by I_Want_an_Elio in TIL tomb raiding is a big problem in China that looters sometimes find historically significant sites first. For instance the tomb of the famed 3 Kingdoms-era general, Cao Cao, was discovered in 2008 after police inspected the stolen goods of a bunch of robbers, who then led them to an unknown tomb. by Khysamgathys
I played Romance of the Three Kingdoms on NES and usually played as Cao Cao. I think I did a good job.
Hell I gave Lu Bu a horse to come join my side. That was kind, right?

But....I thought you loved the USA! From your own post history: "Every time an American complains that the USA is a shithole I want to punch him or her (not literally but you get the point). I am from Mexico and there is a reason so many of us immigrate to the USA. Crossing the border from Mexico into USA is like going from a literal war zone with no infrastructure into a modern country where you can walk outside at night freely. Seriously, if you're American quityerbitching. You wouldn't survive a week in Mexico on a Mexican salary. Other than a few developed places like Monterrey this entire country is a failure."
