Handy Latin

I was sorting stuff in my computer last night, and came across this gem, sent to me by my friend Robin. It's Latin.

Si vellem sententiam tuam audire legerem intestina.

In English, that means "If I wanted your opinion, I'd read your entrails."

This led me to wander out into internetland and look for a website I used to have in my favorite places. I found it. Here are a couple favorites, and a link for you to go enjoy, too. Abigail's Big Table Of Latin Phrases


Antiquis temporibus, nati tibi similes in rupibus ventosissimis exponebantur ad necem.
In English... In the good old days, children like you were left to perish on windswept crags.



Or this one, which made me laugh despite the headache and lack of sleep...
Assume plicam damnatam, o tu moles muscaria muscerdarum
Download the goddam file, you bug-ridden piece of shit


I need to get out more.
