Dilenda es Carthago-Cato

Learned this from my sixth grade educated Dad. Schools don't teach these pearls of wisdom anymore!

Yep, that's it. Cato the Elder. "Ceterum autem censeo, Carthaginem esse delendam."

I got stuck in a 7th grade latin class because some of the guys I hung around with were little hooligans. I was, of course, pure as the driven snow.

So, all of 6 us got to learn latin from the headmaster for 2 hours a day.

And had to memorize some speeches.

But I was innocent. Really.
