1. Pater noster, qui est en chaelis, sanctificado nomen tuum

Illegitimis non carborundum.

[HereSince1628]

2. oolcay...oh you meant that OTHER Latin...

Three years of Latin in HS was great preparation for biology as well as the trivium and quadrivium...

3. Love it...

Here's a bad Italian Latin ditty that always made me smile (Note: I'm sure I've made some errors; I beg forgiveness)

Marcus Porcius Catilina
Puliva culum cum carta vetrina
Si cum carta velina culum laceravit
Dita in culum penetravit!


Rough translation:

Marcus Porcius Catilina
wiped his ass with sand paper
If the sand paper tore his ass up
He put a finger up his butt

[CottonBear]

4. Roma in Italia est. Italia en Europa est.

Aegyptus no est en Europa, est in Africa.

Wow! I still remember the first 3 sentences from my 8th grade Latin textbook!

[HereSince1628]

17. Italia non est insula

Do you know if Ibid is still publishing?

That guy had something to say on EVERY topic.

20. Italia est peninsula!

IBID! LOL!

5. Fidem meam obligo

We learned the Pledge in 1st Year and I still remember it.
7 1/2 years of Latin will do that to you (Governor's Honors, but only a 4 on the AP exam).

Love Ovid :)

6. I speak fluent Motet Latin

Justorum animae in manu Dei sunt...

Locus iste ad Deo factus est...

Laetentur caeli...

O nata lux de lumine...

Cantate Domino canticum novum...

[democrat in Tallahassee]

7. Greek is more fun! Latin is kinda boring after studying Greek

in my humble opinion. In other words, the Romans got no sophocles or aristophanes --just some bland terrence and plautus.

et cum spiritu tuo,
won't you eat my sleazy pancakes

Caspar Weinberger is with thee.
Overrated art thou among Presidents, and
Overrated is the Son of Thy Vice President, Dubya.
Holy Ronald, Father of the GOP,
Help us pay for your sinning,
Now and at the hour Dubya leaves office. Amen.
