"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?
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.

"Si hoc legere scis numium eruditionis habes."

Translation, anyone?

If you can read this you have too much education.

Or something like that.

Thanks, Fiberbabe. I about choked trying to not laugh too loud at

"Auda similarum ad seattles."
(They all sound just like Pearl Jam.)



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.

>ORES TABIT FORTIS ARARE PLACET ORESTAT

O rest a bit for tis a rare place to rest at.


Lucat, bene, derdego,
Honet boses inero.
Honomo, demis trux,
Summit causin, summit dux.


And the all-time fav, known to most:

Non illegitimi carborundum.

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!
