Crede tamen speculo quod te negat esse iuvencum.
--Publius Ovidius Naso

Ahh, the "Ars Amatoria." A book of great wisdom. I keep reminding myself of this line when I look in the mirror. I examine my reflection and ruminate . . . the past, the present, the future . . . and after a while, I come to agree with Ovid.

Non credo me iuvencum esse.













Didn't that sound deep? And THAT, my friends, is why you should learn Latin. The Ovid quote says "nevertheless, believe the mirror because it denies that you are a cow." Take Latin! Pretend to be deep! Impress your friends! Receive daily affirmation that, despite your increasing waistline, you have not metamorphosed into a bovine! oink (too bad there's no cow)

The only class I ever failed in all my years as a student was Latin. Fuck latin in the throat with a screwdriver. I know that's harsh language, but that's how I feel about it. It's called a dead language for a reason. You can take that dative tense and shove it! tongue ARRR!!! EL SUICIDO LOCO skull
