Hey Richard;

Mecastor = HOLY MOLY!

(The sentence after it)

If you can read this sign, you can get a good job in the
fast-paced, high-paying world of Latin!

I studied a little Latin on my own (to read the Bible) and
picked up a couple of books by Henry Beard called "Latin for
all occasions". Some of my favorite entries:

Visne scire quod credam? Credo: Elvem ipsum etiam vivere.
(You know what I think? I think that Elvis is still alive.)

Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscripti catapultas habebunt
(When catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults.)

My favorite is the .sig du jour.

UE,
W6ESE - tony
