[quoteost_uid0]You do science AND Latin?[/quoteost_uid0]

Mock-Latin.

This is about the only genuine Latin I know, and that's because it's my family motto: Justia et Fortituda Invicibilia Sunt.

Apparently it's customary in Latin to capitalise every word.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I tried Google, I found Andromeda, I ran.

Lacrimae means tear, the rest I don't know.

EDIT: I found it. It means "there are tears for things" or "tears attend trials"
You can hear how it is pronounced at http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=sunt[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Universtities are truly storehouses of knowledge: students arrive from school confident that they know everything, and they leave years later certain that they know practically nothing. Where did the knowledge go in the meantime? Into the university, of course, where it is carefully cut and dried.[/colorost_uid0]
