Improving your communication skills

A new book knocks the dust off of Latin and drags it screaming and kicking into the 21st century.

Oh great! Now I'll have nightmares about Prune-lips Grinnell, that I haven't seen for 45 years.

Thankyou for that insightful commentary stacyv, that's what makes cellar the intellectual wastelan^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H hub that it is.

I used to know how to say 'I have a catapault, give me all your money or I'll fire a large rock at your head' in latin. Was great to 'quote' Julius with that one and watch all the stupid wankers nod at such a deep and meaningful stream of latin.

A friend of mine used to collect how to say "Please pass me that squirrel sandwich" in many lanugages.

Alas, I have lost touch with this friend.

If you meet him again, tell him that in luxemburgish it's : "Kanns de mir wann ech gelift déi Kaweechelchersschmier gin".
