h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Excuse the French (so to speak)

"Semper in faecibus sumus sole, profundum variat"

or, "We're always in the shit, it's just the depth that varies"

Another nice one: homo sapiens non urinat contra ventum
Translates as: a thinking man does not piss in the wind. Quite smart, right?

Tyranosaurus Rex = The obvious.

Here are some more:

Nemo salta sobrius - No one dances sober
In vino veritas - In the wine lies the truth
Nunc est bibendum - It's time to drink

Here are some well known(I forgot to check if they were mentioned in the article):
Alea iacta est - The die is tossed
Ora et labora - work until you die
Errare humanum est - It is human to fail
Navigare necesse est, vivera non est necesse - Sailing is necessary, living is not necessary.


-SkyMan

I forgot the most important one:

Nolite Pavere=Don't Panic

Almost the same and yet...

Vir prudence non contravencum menquit!

Wise man do not piss up wind!

At least, that's how I always learned it.

I have this on a bumper sticker on my car - a variation on the one listed: si haec legere potes liberaliter educatus es = if you can read this you're too well educated.
Only one person that I have met has actually known what it says!

Credo Elvem ipsum etiam vivere (I believe Elvis is alive)

Noli hoc praeterire (Don't pass this on)

Ne auderis delere orbemrigidum meum (Don't you dare erase my hard drive)

Oooops - orbem rigidum

Amicule, num is sum qui mentiar tibi (Baby would I lie to you?)

Duc, duc, remus duc/ Flumine secundo/ Viviter, viviter, viviter, viviter/ Vit est somnio--"row, row, row your boat...(or as close as possible in latin)" First day of my 9th grade Latin I class.

"Semper ubi sub ubi" --Always wear underwear, loosely translated

It may interest You that the germans have abbreviated "errare humanum est" into "Ehe", which is german for - marriage...

Carpe diem!-------Seize the day!
Carpe noctem!-----Seize the night!
Carpe cerevisi!---Seize the beer!

Carpe canem?

Seize the dog? Or do you mean 'cave' canem (beware of dog)?

Nope - seize the damn dog!

One of Pratchett's book is called Carpe Jugulum, and he translates it as "Go for the throat"... works for me!

Going for the throat or just the translation?!?

*Shudders*

Have you already got this one?
Si vis panem, para mensam, si vis porcum pete [fratrum meum]
If you want some bread, lay the table, if you want a pig, ask for [my brother] <== This can, of course, be changed

Erratum feci!!!
It should be fratrEm instead of fratrUm
