Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.
I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

??? Didn't Rome 'fall' in the 400s?
Unless your talking about the eastern empire, they were known as the byzantines
Nobody knew them as Byzantines, that term appeared during the 19th century.
The Greeks called themselves Rome.
Arabs, Persians, Armenians, Georgians, Romanians, East Slavs, Turks, Mongols, Ethiopians, and Cumans knew them as Rome.
The Catholic Christians knew them as the Empire of the Greeks because the Germans had their Holy Roman Empire.
There was never a "Byzantine Empire"
Rome was only a city in the Roman Empire. The fall of the Roman Empire was a gradual process that culminated in 1453.nobody then knew them as that, but just calling them that now makes it so much less confusing for people.
I also love the holy roman empire, it wasn't holy, nor roman, or an empire. They don't name stuff like they used to
Also, I put fall into ' ' because after the raid in 426 I want to say, it wasnt much of an empire and what was left was in free fall dragging Europe head first into the dark ages
