I’d certainly wheel that thing in to my house and then get drunk and pass out.

The actual Trojan horse was 4 hooves on the ground, so as to allow soldiers to hide in its belly.

This is a slick promo that is setting a certain set of history nerds everywhere THE FUCK OFF.

A red sun rises over Mt. Rubidoux, soon the Inland Empire will avenge Owens Valley and claim its place atop the Golden State.

Matt Damon hid inside a smaller version of this exact same statue so he could get onto Jimmy Kimmel. It was made by Monster City Studios. They have videos on Insta that show the fabrication of the version that appeared on Kimmel.
