 I see this on the back of a pick-up and am curious.

" Carpe' diem II"

The mark between the e and d is actually a , but up where I put the '.
Is it latin? Whats it mean?

Seize the day, i.e. enjoy the day.  Am I the onliest one that "took" high school Latin?
Here's to us and those like us; DanG few of us left!

Yup.. Latin is 'Pluck the day' but usually translated to 'seize the day'

Also the title of a very good Metallica song from a few years back  ;)

that was a "mediocre" Metallica song (never thought I'd see metallica on this board! :)

I had latin in high school, I didn't do too well.

I took a year of latin in HS.  I learned alot about english because of latin.  I would have taken another year if there had been a different teacher.

Where were you guys when I was showing off my latin skills -------remember that thread about Cleopatra? :D :D :D

She did that congegating stuff and got Amo,Amas,Amat, Amos,  and Andy

Tom

that was a fun thread, wasn't it Noble?


Was that Latin we were talkin' when we were discussin' what Brutus et?

Don P

I thought Brutus et two  ???

Bro. Noble

I don't think so Tom,  if I remember correctly,  he et tu.  That sounds oriental to me

Bro. Noble

You could be right Don-------probably et two Carpe's with a jug of ripple.  That sounds more latin ;D

GaryD says that, if you can spin a chinaman around enough, you can disorient him.  I wonder if Brutus was disoriented?

Learning Latin right now at work.
They had suggested I learn Spanish so as to communicate with the workers, but I actually have to check off product in Latin. ::)
Sure is fun......... not!

Tom

Where are you workin', in Rome?  .......Georgia?   :P

Furby

 :D
Nope, just up here.
Plants are labled with scientific name and common name, paper work is limited in the common name area so it's checked by scientific name.
Long as I can see it I can find it, having to say it or hear it don't work. ;D

Tom

There is a Rome, Michigan tu..  uh....  too.      You could go over there and get a tutor.

Sprucebunny.......a loose translation :P  Don't let the  Bas%&rds  grind you down.
                    It's the any latin phrase I remember. ::)
                 As a new member I asked Gilman (Dave) what the latin was under his avatar.....he said it was "I have to edit my profile" spelled backwards. Sure made me feel stupid. :D :D :D :D :D 8)

Thought it was "NIL ILLEGITIMUS CARBORUNDUM".........which I read somewhere is just made up and is not Latin at all................

Thankfully, Latin wasn't taught anymore by the time I reached high school, but I did know what "Carpe' diem" meant because I saw the movie "Dead Poet's Society". :D

Being in High School just after 'sputnick' caused me a lot of strife >:(  The councelor insisted that I take two years of Latin and 4 years of math and refused to let me take agriculture or industrial arts.  Anyone with average or higher IQ owed it to himself and his country to go to college  ----in his opinion :(

After a lot of arguing and pleading,  we comprimised-------I took two years of Latin and 3 1/2 years of math,  but I slept through them and finally failed math therby escaping the final semester of it.  Heck,  I can run a calculator about as well as the next guy and was able to work a night job while in highschool:D :D 

My Dad has a masters degree in Mechanical Engineering.  We sold a load of grade lumber to a new place last week and I was showing Dad the ticket.  I asked him to get a pencil and paper and figure the average price per board ft.  He always carries a pencil and paper in his shirt pocket,  so he got them out and wrote down the value of the check and the total footage.  Then he took his calculator out of his pocket and punched the numbers into it :D :D :D

Latin is fun.  :)

I think I'd have a little more of a response than 'et tu' if someone just stabbed me.  ::)
