Ever read "Winnie Ille Pooh"?

[MrsEmmaPeel]

My favorite was the Latin edition of Alice in Wonderland and the conversation between Alice and the Cheshire Cat. "ego insanna sum, tu insanna es" (I'm mad, you're mad) ... Then there was the Winnie Ille Pool, ... ah, memories ...

[laker_dad]

Remember when Jesse Jackson read the book on Saturday Night Live? It was a hoot! The only time I ever paid attention to him...

[Map Kernow]

The target audience is "people who took Latin in school and have fond remembrance of it

Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit....

.....people who took Latin in school and have fond remembrance of it.....

The 138 Americans in this group are waiting anxiously for the paper back edition.

Some one did "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" in Latin.

We gave one to a friend of ours who spent time at a hard-core Catholic school.

He never DID say "Thank you", now that I recall......LOL!

Hmmm... Need a copy to go alonside my copy of "Winnie Ille Pu"

Hey, this might be a good thread to ask another Latin question:

I have found two different versions of the Fatima prayer.

Prex Decadis Rosarii

O mi Jesu, dimitte nobis debita nostra, libera nos ab igne inferni, conduc in caelum omnes animas, praesertim illas quae maxime indigent misericordia tua.

Domine Iesu, dimitte nobis debita nostra, salva nos ab igne inferiori, perduc in caelum omnes animas, praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae maxime indigent.

Can anybody tell me if one of these is deficient, or better than the other?

[Jim Cane]

Finally! Al Gore can now travel to South America to
hear it recited by the natives.

I personally enjoy how Dr. Seuss explains Computer Technology.

Dr. Seuss Explains Why Computers Sometimes Crash~
(Read this aloud, if you can!)

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,

and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,

and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,

then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,

and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,

and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash,

then your situation's hopeless

and your system's gonna crash!!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house
says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,

but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,

and your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse;

then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy in the
disk,

and the macro code instructions cause unnecessary risk,

then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM.

Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

What if Shakespeare had written the Hokey Pokey?

[Koblenz]

My favorite Latin saying:

O Civili, sed ergo
Fortibus es in ero
O Nobili, Deis Trux
Indem arcem causen Dux

Can't figure it out? Then read it out loud!

[Willie Green]

Two Seuss books that were translated earlier, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "The Cat in the Hat," have sold a combined 60,000 copies in Latin.

Shucks. That means I still gotta wait until they do "Horton Hatches The Egg"

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

I love it!

I have a friend who took Latin all through Catholic high school. I only learned a couple of songs & phrases in Latin in my short stint at Catholic school. This will make a great XMAS gift. <:D

"Twas Brillo, and the G.E. stoves
Did Procter and Gamble in the Glade;
All Pilsbury were the tasty loaves,
And in a Minute Maid.

'Beware the Station Break, my son--
The voice that lulls, the ads that vex;
Beware the doctor's claim and shun
That horror called 'Brand X'!

He took his Q-Tip swab in hand,
Long time the Maxim foe he sought;
Then rested he by the Tum-Tum tree
And stood a while in thought.

And as in Jello thought he stood,
The Station-Break, with eyes of flame,
Came charging through the Pride-hazed wood--
And cream-rinsed as it came!

It charged--and through and through the Q-Tip swab
Went Snicker-snack! He Dreft its head,
And with its head he went galumphing back.

'And hast thou slain the Station-Break?!
Oh, come to my arms, my Excedrin boy!
Oh chocolate pie, oh Metrecal! He chortled in his joy.

Twas Brillo, and the G.E. stoves
Did Procter and Gamble in the Glade;
All Pilsbury were the tasty loaves,
And in a Minute Maid.

--my imperfect memory's version of Mad Magazine's version of Jabberwocky
