Fun fact, the ancient Greeks used to wipe their asses with pebbles called "pessoi". It was a fairly common practice to write the names of your enemies on these little pieces of stone and ceramic. Historians were initially unaware of their true purpose, theorizing instead that they were pieces for some kind of game. One historian Gregory Zorzos coped so hard about the fact that they're actually shit pebbles he wrote a book about a board game with zero historical backing just so he wouldn't have to admit they were actually for wiping your ass.
