plz don't bump into me thx

Have fun getting into cars with little leg room, you tall faggots.

You short people sicken me. Where the fuck do you get off not growing as tall as me. What the fuck is your problem. Your kind is what is ruining America.

I see over the wheel just fine, you lanky freak, you. Just know that low ceilings are of virtually no concern to me, whereas you need to concentrate and not smacking your head on a beam and forgetting all that Cicero crap.

Sic Semper Populo Alto.

Seriously, though, my one troupe does (or, rather, is about to start doing) shows at this bar in town, and ceiling over the stage is really low- Penn and Teller where there in the 70's and Penn had to kneel the whole time- and the others guys had to be careful about not braining themselves. But me? Just dandy.

When I'm the Latin professor at Harvard I won't have to worry about bumping my head standing in a lecture hall.

So... wait... you're learning Latin... so you can teach it?

Scuze meh, but that seems like a bit of a pointless cycle to me.

 

[Zephyrus]

Having the knowledge is fulfilling enough, and spreading it is equally. That and it guarantees me a job since I'm a double major (Secondary Education being the other). Latin is just as valid to learn as History and English, and many people who major in that go on to teaching. And I'm also minoring in Classics, which will help as well.

Really? I went to a New Balance a month or two ago and they had nothing above a 12.

then the one I go to is better than the one you went to

Think a little before you speak. Knowledge and academia is very important, as is spreading it. If everything we had to learn was immediately practical towards something physical we'd all be morons. Also teachers, especially professors, often do research in addition to their teaching duties.

HOW?

Look ma, i got a degree in Latin, so i can go teach people to speak latin so they can go on and teach people to speak latin so they can go teach people etcetcetc.

 

[cookiecutter]

Because it adds to humanity's understanding of the past

 

[False Joe]

Isn't that why people learn History?

 

[The Ozzman]

I think he's trying to say that learning/teaching Latin and its knowledge is important because it's part of a civilzation that had a huge influence on modern humanity.....I hope....?

6'3 1/2 ", 260 lbs, eat me, shit-bag.

Not if you're a doctor, historian, lawyer, police officer, archeologist....

well, the list goes on and on.

Latin is really part of the backbone of most serious western academia.

 

[The Ozzman]

Even if you're a doctor it's useless.

My dad took Latin in high school and is a doctor and doesn't remember a damn word of it

 

[The Ozzman]

Latin is really part of the backbone of most serious western academia.

Not to mention most modern languages
