O Temporalis! O Headache!
The title, of course, is a reference to the Latin saying “O tempora O mores” (Oh the times! Oh the morals!), used by the Roman orator Cicero, as he proclaimed his disdain for the morals of the day. Tempora means “time” in Latin, and Temporal bones (one on each side) are a part of your scull where the temples are. Legend says that ancients used “time” to name this part of the head because that’s where grey hair first starts to appear, reminding us of the passage of time. Fan-s
