If you think that one is new, give me a date on this one:
Si nummus loquitur, pauper tacet, hoc bene scitur.
If money talks, the poor are silent; this is well known.

Those are hysterical! Loved "Nunc Tutus Exitus Computarus."

but your favorite is mine, too :
"Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, minutus carborata descendum pantorum."

>A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants the MP boys used that in a sketch, as well as the famous Chuckles the Clown, and I wondered if they stole it from vaudeville, so I LIU... and what I found was another instantiation of this board software, which I submit w/o further comment. http://fff.fathom.org/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000724-2.html

ORES TABIT FORTIS ARARE PLACET ORESTAT
The archeologists and Latin scholars studied it and admitted that they were baffled. A young school boy read it off to them with no problem.

Fiberbabe, this is WAAAAAYY COOL! However, you misquoted one. "Sharpei diem post meridian" is the proper quote, being the old Roman movie title, "Dog Day Afternoon."

Did you notice the board appellations on this site, tsuwm? Fancy Pants (Pooh-Bah?), Moderator Extroadinaire, Welcome Wagoneer (our "stranger"?), Godlike Administrator, Fanatic (love it, let's dump "addict" for it immediately!), and überfanatic. Those were the only ones I could find on a couple of threads searched. A strange and intriguing site, but I couldn't start reading...you notice the "Addict" next to my name?  And I guess Jackie, Pooh-Bah though she is, is AWAD's official Welcome Wagoneer!
