Day 1

In trying to come up with a name for this blog, I had several ideas. Most of those were not appropriate if we ever intend to let any other humans see this blog.

Here is a page I stumbled upon of some good intentions but poor results.


I was looking at the meaning for the word Vomitorium on Wikipedia and had no idea that the word had actual meaning. It is basically a means of rapid egress, but from the Wikipedia page...
"A vomitorium is a passage situated below or behind a tier of seats in an amphitheatre or a stadium, through which big crowds can exit rapidly at the end of a performance. They can also be pathways for actors to enter and leave stage.[1] The Latin word vomitorium, plural vomitoria, derives from the verb vomeo, vomere, vomitum, "to spew forth." In ancient Roman architecture, vomitoria were designed to provide rapid egress for large crowds at amphitheatres and stadiums, as they do in modern sports stadiums and large theatres.[2]"

Writing will be done here. There's no earthly way of knowing which direction we are going.

  1. Writing will indeed be done here. Perhaps some free knowledge will be dispensed
