The Fall Of Rome

One pool was filled with brownish sludge its colour similar to fudge. The other stank of pharmacy and bureaucratic chemistry. They did assure the stupid masses that any emanating gasses were simply signs of distillation and this would lead to fractionation. You see, the public servants had neglected things, and now were mad that lakes and rivers had run dry without the water, all would die. So they convinced the skeptics all that Rome prevented its own fall by cycling all their excrements through special pipes and narrow vents until they bubbled, mixed and rose in volume and to please the nose. The bladders of those placid mules were used as filters in their pools. It made the brew look fresh and clear and wiped away the people's fear. So, soon the Romans skipped their wine and helped themselves to bubbly brine. Their chemists had not known the fact that oestrogen will stay intact inside a liquid and it will wreak havoc first and later kill. Each woman, since she is a she, has hormones hidden in her pee. These substances will act in men to make them feel like Mother Hen. They'll grow size 44-D breasts and try to hide them under vests. Rome fell due to a lack of tails. Recycled water killed all males.
