"Revelare Pecunia!"
(Show Me The Money!)


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."
(It's Now Safe To Turn Off Your Computer.) How did Bill Gates miss that one?

"Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, minutus carborata descendum pantorum."

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.
