#9  The trailing daughters get extra credit from their Latin teachers when they bring in an example of Latin used in modern life, so I forwarded this thread to them both. Sadly, the German and English teachers aren't of the same mind, else Thomas Woof and Delphi would have raised their GPAs significantly.

#5  Woe to them who call evil "good", and good "evil",
who put darkness for ligh, and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and clever in their own sight....
Threfore, as tongues of fire lick up straw, and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust,
for they have rejected the law of the LORD Almighty, and spurned the one of the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 5:20,21, 24

flammis acribus addictis:

#3  placing IED's is not a brave thing and should automatically hold a death sentence for the perps. One bullet, one head. Bunch of nancys.

#2  This s what I hear:

Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla,
Teste David cum Sibylla.

Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando judex est venturus
Cuncta stricte discussurus.

#1  Would add a comment but can't think straight. Can't get "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner out of my head.
