Is it sad that I actually laughed at that?
When I actually go to church (which would be...rarely), I always love it when they have a song in latin... I'll be sitting there trying to figure out what it says, even if it has the English version right below it. Unfortunately, it's never anything more interesting than a lot of "Dominus" and "Sanctus" and the like. Heh.
I took a year of Latin back in highschool and loved it. I remember our text book was called "Ecce Romani." What kind of title is "Look, Romans!!!" besides a rather humorous one? Though, honestly, I know very little off the top of my head. I can usually do loose translations, but other than that? Not much else. I envy anyone who's semi-fluent.
