Imi: Thanks verily much. Ahhh, takes me back to when I actually started getting into music. I used to listen to the local Oldies station whenever I could. It played songs from the '60s and '70s that were wonderful/cheesy/etc. Well, before the station started to suck.
Anon: I've been much better. Of course, I could be worse. But, not fantastic and feeling very drained.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Sorry to hear that, JZ. Hope you feel better soon.
FM's high school: Ah, delicious delicious prison bars!
there's also what amounts to a gigantic blue square tacked on the front of it, but you can't really see that from this picture which is taken from the back.
Oh, also that shack at the forefront that looks like it's probably used to store cleaning supplies? Yeah. That's the computer lab.

Man, all your guys's high schools are so much cooler than mine:

^AND GET YOURSELF A GODDAMN AGGRON WHILE YOU'RE AT IT
(Yes, that's actually the first thing that picture reminded me of.)

According to the website, because Egypt. (partly at least)
Even though ziggurats aren't really Egyptian, but no matter.
Egypt was my thing back in the day. I had a book that lists every pharoah in chronological order (as best can be reconstructed from ancient king lists), it's friggin' sweet. -w-
Lazuli: I believe you on the glowing-in-the-dark thing; that's zinc sulfide, which is what pretty much anything that glows in the dark uses these days because it's a long-persistence phosphor (meaning it'll glow for a while after it's charged up) and because it's relatively non-toxic.
Also, someone beat me to the SilentHill joke. Bah. Though I am tempted to post "Theme of Laura" in here just because.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
Uh, actually, they do know history. Ziggurat is a slab serif, aka an "Egyptian" (even though they're not from Egypt, this name stems from an attempt to cash in on Egyptomania that was going on at the genre's inception).
Three of the members of The Proteus Project have a name relating to their genre or size: Leviathan is named for the sea monster from the Bible, alluding to its weight, and Acropolis, a "Grecian", is named for the Greek word for "highest city". Saracen is an archaic term for a Muslim, and I have no idea why Jonathan Hoefler named the face that aside from it sounding old.

I think that actually makes less sense to me, honestly.

Also I kind of want to tell Jonathan Hoefler that Ziggurat is used for the "my" in the logo.

Typeface designers don't necessarily know history
Well they should! *nerdrages*

ARE YOU ENJOYING YOUR COCAINE, LOCKON
Another favorite of mine is Herihor, but he was technically "only" a usurper.
Also fond of Akhenaten.
