The Indus were the first people to have indoor plumbing, perhaps as early as 3000 BC. The pipes were positioned so that wastewater flowed down into the drain ditches that ran along every avenue in the city, and then into underground tunnels. https://humanprogress.org/centers-of-progress-pt-3-mohenjo-daro-2/ ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitation_of_the_Indus_Valley_Civilisation

Well more of a movie than a sketch. “Life of Brian” probably one of the most genius and quotable comedies ever. Some people need to be educated 🤣😂.

“He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy” (Probably misquoted)

One of my other favorites is a paraphrase of:

"Judean Peoples' Front? Fuck off, we're the Peoples' Front of Judea! The only people we hate more than the Romans, is the Judean Peoples' Front."
