Now that is hilarious--cops undercover as gladiators, getting in a fight with make-believe gladiators!

Thanks for the link, annis. I think this one will go into my "History in the News" report. It needs a bit of humor!

Fake gladiators in turf war, undercover cops caught in the middle. Good stuff!
