translating cicero

me: hey could i get a uhhhhhhhhh main verb
cicero: it is my sincerest regret to inform you- a fact that brings me a great amount of consternation, perturbation, and indeed a sense of the same anxiety with which i confronted the misdeeds of that scoundrel catiline, one which i have tried many times to rectify but have found myself powerless in the face of, one that, by hercules, i am loath to admit seems to have overcome me in this hour of your greatest need- that the main verb machine broke

Ever since your Tolkien post i’ve read his name as Jonald Ronald Rolkien Tolkien, but what’s more, I’ve also started reading J.K. Rowling as Jonald Kowling Rowling. Thanks Elodie

I was going to Suggest “Colkien Sewis Lewis” but honestly “Clive Staples Lewis” is so much worse.

Guys, I just found the COOLEST resource.

The Chicago library just posted a bunch of old manuscripts online to get the public’s help with translation and transcription.  One of these manuscripts was “The Book of Magical Charms”, an anonymous grimoire from 17th century England.

This is PURE CHRISTIAN WITCHERY.  It’s got spirit conjurings, (use with care), sigils, (also use with care), spells and potions, (USE WITH CARE don’t be eating anything a 17th century manuscript says to eat without researching it first), prayers galore.  Some of it is in Latin, but if you hit the translator tab, a bunch of people have already translated some significant chunks.  Me myself will be digging out my Latin textbooks because I am THAT LEVEL OF NERD.

GO WILD GUYS, IT’S RIGHT HERE: http://publications.newberry.org/dig/rc-transcribe/charms

THIS IS THE COOLEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN

This is cool as hell. Now I know how to cure the bloody fluxe if I ever come down with it (eat eggs poached in vinegar until better)

My American mother in-law sending me an email: Hey! Let’s do something, I’m going to the garden center soon, want to come?

Me: Oh cool that sounds like fun!

MIL: Yea! I want to finish making my fairy door in the garden this spring 🙂

Me, Scottish with Irish grandparents, shoving iron into my pockets and throwing salt everywhere: …great.

Luigi… thunder. 

This is still the most confusing post this blog has ever made

what have i done

the idea that this might have been made in 2012 is fucking terrifying because it sounds like it’s supposed to be a parody of Thunder by Imagine Dragons

The longer this post goes the more questions it raises.

the only plausible explanation is that imagine dragon’s thunder is a parody of luigi thunder
