Who is Ovid?

[Q Classic]

Not read the thread other than the OP, to answer the question without any knowledge of what has been said. So bear with me: Ovid was, as far as I know, a Roman author. He made a naughty book only grown ups could read, many monasteries had it, but it was a nono to read for most people, as they could get naughty thoughts and see naughty pictures.

Close, a poet. As far as naughty book, the only thing that comes to mind maybe is Ars Amatoria (which I've not read)?

What's the term for betting with something you don't have?

"Mortgage-backed security," iirc.

Wasn't he the one who wrote those, in a medieval sense, near pornographic works, which often was hidden in some dark place in the libraries?

Nah. The econ threads are already proof enough.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Some of it must be NYU's fault.

Beats me. I'm sure a lot of Greeks and Romans would qualify for that, as would Chaucer.

I guess since it took you months to figure out I wasn't Chinese, it will take you even longer to realize I don't go to NYU.

Well, you are a known liar. It is possible. How'd that job interview go?

[Ben Kenobi]

Nikolai, are you thinking of Catullus?

[Q Classic]

Rufus wins the prize.

I think my answer's better, because it fits the definition better.

Ovid wrote Transformers???

I love the naiveté of someone thinking that by saying "without using google" people won't actually use them.

I'm fairly sure Metamorphoses is referenced in SMAC, too.
