All Star, in Latin.


QuoteOlim aliquis mi dixit,
fati rapturi sunt me,
non sum acutior gladius in harena.
Me reiciebat sine verbo,
statim pollice verso
putares Caesarem in spectaculo.

Anni veniunt et continuo veniunt,
mores stringunt sed non impediunt,
stultum non vivi ad delectandum
prudentior fio, at ineptus vocandus.
multa facienda, multa spectanda,
ergo semitae sunt non vitandae.
Non cognosces si non iveris,
Non lucebis, si non nitueris.

Hercle, tu es victor,
i et accipe palmam,
Hercle, es imperator,
i et accipe triumphum.
Omnia micantia aurum.
Caudata sidera devertunt mala tempora.

Frigidus locus et, aiunt, frigidior,
es vinctus, eo peius, quo adultior,
sed augures volunt differre:
aiunt unam hirundinem facere ver.
Ambulamus gelu tabescens,
Mare incaluit, vide me natantem.
Meus mundus fervet, qualis est tuus?
Mi placet et id numquam fastidiam!

Hercle, tu es victor,
i et accipe palmam,
Hercle, es imperator,
i et accipe triumphum.
Omnia micantia aurum.
Caudata sidera devertunt mala tempora.

Hercle, tu es victor,
i et accipe palmam,
Hercle, es imperator,
i et accipe triumphum.
Omnia micantia aurum.
Caudata sidera...


Olim aliquis caballum
petivit qui esset firmum.
"Ipse valde volo fugere hinc."
Dixi "Ego quoque!
Volo firmum caballum ipse."
Animum et caelum muta, age!

Anni veniunt et continuo veniunt,
mores stringunt sed non impediunt,
stultum non vivi ad delectandum
prudentior fio, at ineptus vocandus.
multa facienda, multa spectanda,
ergo semitae sunt non vitandae.
Non cognosces si non iveris,
Non lucebis, si non nitueris.

Hercle, tu es victor,
i et accipe palmam,
Hercle, es imperator,
i et accipe triumphum.
Omnia micantia aurum.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Also, Linkin Park:


Quote(initium est) una res, qua de causa ignoro,
nihil interest quam enixe conor,
tecum recoli, oro, versibus laboro
ut doceam sine mora (quaequae scio.)

Aetaem, caram rem illam,
specto volantem dum acqua destillat,
specto numerantem retro ad finem diei,
acqua stillat vitam, (non est verum.)

non aspexi subter,
a fenestra specto aetatem euntem,
conans tenere, ne scivi quidem
me omnia perdidisse (ut abeas.)

Tenui omnia meo corde,
tametsi conatus, omnia perdidi.
Id quantum valui memoria erit
praeteriti temporis cum

[rit.] enixe conatus et feliciter gessi
sed extremo nihil interest,
mi perendum ut omnia perdam
sed extremo nihil interest     

una res, qua de causa ignoro,
nihil interest quam enixe conor,
tecum recoli, oro, versibus laboro
ut me doceam enixe (conatum.)

Tamenetsi tunc me irridebat,
agens ut eram tua res privata,
si cogito quantum pugnavissemus,
miror quod bene (gestum sit.) 

Omnia omnino mutata sint,
iam me ipsum non agnoveris,
ne tunc quidem me noscebas
sed omnia perduntur (extremo.)

Tenuisti omnia corde,
tametsi conatus, omnia perdidi.
Id quantum valui memoria erit
praeteriti temporis cum

[rit.] enixe conatus et feliciter gessi
sed extremo nihil interest,
mi perendum ut omnia perdam
sed extremo nihil interest

Confisus sum tibi,
quam enixe conatus,
toto huic
solum hoc tibi sciendum est [x2]

Two days into Belgium... very much in line with our Languish roots.


My boy shared this with me. I think he'll be playing some of our games not too long from now  :wub:

Great little song, and Ima steal it for an AP European History class.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I thought we collectively agreed Belgium does not exist years ago?  :cry:

A fairly strong line-up as a backing band for Roy Orbison there, I'd say.

Turns out it's a cover/spin-off of a viral hit called "Two Days Into College" which is honestly also quite good (but different vibe, obviously).

Accurate. But quoting Andrew Roberts taints it.

Admittedly from April last year, but interesting interview with Indie Neidell and how he ended up in Sweden.

Found an old BBC series called, "Sapphire and Steel".  I'm enjoying it.  Dark fantasy, creepy minimalist staging and few characters in each series. 
PDH!

OMG, as an 80s LEGO kid, those computers were just about the most precious things. :wub: :nerd:

(And yes, I also "painted" my own, but less elegantly - mostly it involved permanent markers :lol: )

The surprisingly interesting history of punctuation  :bowler:

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Another interesting (I hope) etymology recommendation. This time about the origin of animal names in English. Spoiler for one, we don't know where the word dog comes from.
