Probably my favorite: Apollinaris, the doctor of the emperor Titus, defecated well here

haha wow. That's pretty funny. It is really strange how in the past 2000 with the changes of technology how human nature is still the same.

"stick figures" featuring engorged and cartoonishly oversized phalli, images depicting fertility rituals, and various remarks about defecation are found on 'lavatory' walls in ancient Babylon, around Hammurabi's time.

It's wonderful to know that the "LOL PENIS PENIS PENIS!!!11" and "JEFF IS A QUEER!!!!!111" style comments on YouTube aren't a symptom of mass cultural dickery, and is simply how we've been since apparently the beginning of time.

There are all sorts of images on-line where you can find photos of many of the same graffiti from the list.
