You know, I get sent this at least once a month.

And it amuses me. Can anyone else translate?

Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis ad capul tuum saxum immane mittam.

;)

Failing that, anyone got any nice little witticisms (sic) or phrases in languages other than that what is English that need desparately to be aired?

PCheese.

You get sent it at least one a month?? :confused: From who, exactly? :D

Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis ad capul tuum saxum immane mittam.

It's *something* like: Catapult holds not 'stuff' but all of me 'grant' to your huge stone throw.
Thats the best accurate translation I can give.

I would guess it means this:

"Catapults throw huge stones at your enemies" :D

So basically I don't know for sure, but its to do with a catapults!


PS: Does anyone know where I can find a Latin translator? I use Altavista or Dictionary.com for translations when I need them, but they don't have Latin!

Don't take it literally :D

catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.
I have a catapult. Give me all the money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head.

my grandma (abuelita) used to say:

El sol no se puede tapar con solo un dedo

[quietstorm]

Shwein Hunden!!!

Well, please don;t take that personally if you're well aquainted with the German (Deutsch) language:D:D:D

[PCheese]

Heh heh, whkoh has obviously heard that one before. I am trying to remember a phrase in German I once heard, it may have been on TV or it may have been one of my mates but anyway - they were using this as a chat up line :

(Please ignore terrible spellings and total lack of knowledge of German.)

Komm nicht nahe, oder ich hole Herrn Geknollegaber

Which I think is supposed to translate to :

Don't come any closer or I'll fetch Mr Knobbly.

I like making up German words because they are so cool :D
my favorite thing to say is "Spriggen ze doichen heimer von heimlich stratanugen grobyc" of i am almost sure it is not real german and the spelling is a bit screwy.
