Tom can you speak latin?

Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem. Amicule, deliciae, num is sum qui mentiar tibi?

PS: Homines libenter quod volunt credunt.

PPS: Hunc tu caveto!

Tom can you speak latin?

Speak? No
I can read it if I have a dictionary nearby. It is a struggle. My command of German and
French is similarly weak. I had a whole (sarcastic) two terms of Latin in college and it fades with
time. I wanted to be able to read the original sources of Roman history in the original language.

20 years ago I used to read everything I could get my hands on about ancient Rome and ancient
mesopotamia. My first degree was a BA in history. Went through undergrad a second time in engineering. Haven't read a lot of history recently. I must be getting old, sigh. (Growing up? Not a chance!)

In Romania Latin is taught (notice I said taught, not learnt) in the first two years in high school. In teory all of us should be able to speak it. In practice we terribly fail.

Ultimul e un cuvant la care nu m-am gandit ca e de origine dacica.

English version:
Some Dacian words still endure...

Exception: in computer science high schools the latin is not learnt.

That's logical, as long as the former Roman legionnaires found here pretty Dacian girls and got married.

/although to be correct: **zda sounds Dacian, but it seems more to be derived from old slavonic language.
(or maybe the slavs borrowed it from us... Who can exactly know? )

MacGuyver is immortal. He can only be killed by some guy named McCleod carrying a long sword.

... Of course...

No, no! Everybody can kill him with a silver bullet.

Forcing him to listen to 2 hours of Yanni would only disable him.

MacGuiver can died of two things: slain in combat or of sorrow...

[cherish]

Did you guys notice that MacGyver always gets the women? He's kinda similar to James Bond in that sense. And ofcourse, women do try to get them killed too..

• MacGyver's old HS girlfriend frames him for her husband's death, when that didnt work... surprise, surprise.. she'll just kill him.
• Of the countless women that tried to kill James Bond... I liked Elektra King (played by Sophie Marceau) in "The World is Not Enough." Although ofcourse, her main target was Bond's boss, M. But i liked her character because it showed vulnerability and strength.

Interestingly, Teri Hatcher who guest starred in two or more episodes in MacGyver also became a Bond Girl (Paris Carter, "Tomorrow Never Dies").

/Why is Sophie Marceau not in the Sexiest Actress list??

[cherish]

Cool.

Cannot be disabled. Just his first child made read-only.
