The Cult of Lincoln

Wednesday, April 20, 2005



*facepalm* I am such a dork. I was just reading over a list of Useful Latin Phrases (linked from the hilarious Things Skippy Is No Longer Allowed To Do Now He is Pope), and I came upon the word "cave", which (according to the site) means "beware". It was like a lightbulb going on in my head. Suddenly, all the "Cave, Molesworth! Cave!" lines make sense. I always assumed it was saying something like "Flee! Retreat to your cave!"

This is what I miss when my mom makes me stick with French, rather than switching to Latin in 7th grade. XD *waves "Everything I Need to Know About Latin I Learned From Harry Potter" flag*
