...What? Anyway, two reasons for this thread. One, I really like Latin! In fact, a little Latin can be found in a number of my projects, like Patch's last name in Dead Gril Blues. Also, I found out about this game called "Pax Corpus". "Peace Body" on it's own is cool enough, but it turns out this was made from the original Aeon Flux game. Y'know, the one based off the shorts and animated series you felt dirty watching. http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/pax-corpus And here's a list of phrases from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin...ases_%28full%29 -Tabris |

I looked Pax Corpus up on GameFAQs.com, and guess what? Totally lesbionic game. No, I'm not making it up. The world is made up of women, all men are either dead or brainwashed slaves, and it the manual isn't even remotely subtle about it's lesbianism or it's ties to the original Aeon Flux game. I've just inspired another project for Tabris, haven't I? |

Here's a few I like: alenda lux ubi orta libertas amor omnibus idem amor vincit omnia boni pastoris est tondere pecus non deglubere cogito ergo sum compos mentis contraria contrariis curantur crescat scientia vita excolatur errare humanum est Faber est suae quisque fortunae falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus ~Meiko |

Here's a few of my favorites: Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges credo quia absurdum est condemnant quod non intellegunt fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt fiat iustitia et pereat mundus This one reminds me a little of Tabris: odi et amo And here's one I'm sure Chesire would like: flectere si nequeo superos, Achaeronta movebo |

Yes, Raven, I have issues. I found a few good ones: fortes fortuna adiuvat (this one's the name of an ending in Haunting Ground/Demento) fortis est veritas fortis et liber -Tabris |

Meiko, that delightful girl chaser, has already posted "cogito ergo sum" so I will add a phrase from the lexicon of law (much like compos mentis, another one added by Meiko): Wait, fuck that, I'm going to cite a randome quote from Wikipedia! Ignotum per ignotius |
