| Sethomas | Yeah, Latin's weird like that because v is both u and w in the classical form, so when those two letters evolved out of it in the middle ages the spelling standards went to hell and my dictionary can't help me much. I cringe every time I hear tourists tell their kids at monuments that they spell shit like "e plvribvs vnvm" because it's too difficult to carve u's in stone. It happens a lot! |

Actually, I'm starting to doubt myself... I think it's actually salvvs or salvs. I'm going to hell for sure.

| ziggytrix | isn't the image of some crazy shouting "EXTRA ECCLESIAM NULLA SULLUS goddammit" in a subway, with no apparent provocation whatsoever good enough? :P |

I just imagined you going up to some crazy old woman and yelling, "Extra ecclesiam nulla sullus, bitch!" and found it extremely hilarious.

On a serious note, though, I was in Manhattan during the Fourth and some lady was carrying a sign that said "ONLY CATHOLICS GO TO HEAVEN". Being almost positively convinced that I was more educated in Catholicism than she was on the matter (myself being a weird sort of one), I was about to ask her if she was really a fundamentalist trying to use odd smear tactics. However, I couldn't remember the relevant Latin phrase I'd have to use in such a discussion, so I just walked off in confusion. Then when I boarded a subway I was like "EXTRA ECCLESIAM NULLA SULLUS goddammit", which is the name of the fallacy that only Catholics are eligible for heaven (as called among Catholics themselves). And I was sad that I could have made a dumb bitch look like a really dumb bitch but missed the chance.
