I recently discovered this detail and felt it was worth sharing!

The image displays two blocks of black text on a white background. The top block reads: 'According to plutarch The roman politician cicero once delivered a yo mama joke so devastating the guy quit his job and ran off to syria'. The bottom block is a historical passage from Plutarch describing a dispute between Cicero and Metellus Nepos, where Cicero sarcastically remarks on Nepos's mother's reputation, leading to a historical anecdote about Nepos fleeing to Syria. The text is presented as if it's a factual historical account, but the top line is a humorous fabrication.
