    Some of you may know, but I don't and it is starting to bother me. The man by the name of Virne has this above his picture and not being very good with languages I have no clue what it means.

    Please, while I still have this little bit of sanity.

    I don't know either, but try sending Virne a PM directly and asking.

    [EDIT: Just felt a sudden urge to add that I strongly dislike latin. Latin sucks, in my ever so humble opinion]

    @Faded

    Just out of curiosity, if you hate latin, how did you translate that. And how did you know it was latin?

    [​IMG] A quick google search gave amazing results. ;)

    I proudly consider myself a latin illiterate, though I should perhaps mention that my hatred for latin is somewhat exaggerated. (Maybe it's just *my* latin that sucks)

    :shake: Maybe I should make a topic out of this. Wait, there is already one. :rolleyes:

    Anyway, Daephon got it right, probably remembering the last time it was asked. No big deal; "Every man makes his own fortune", which, IMO, fits with the avvy. ;)

    Shame that I can't change them (both), though.

    Literally: everyone is the smith of his fate.

    The rest are just equivalent proverbs, not translations ;)

    [​IMG] Latin is for those who don't want anyone to know what they mean, but want to associate with others of their kind... It is kinda like a verbal flirt. :xx:

    Yea, stop flirting with me Nobleman. :p

    This isn't even the profile I would like to keep, but when I had to choose the avatar my choises were kinda limited. :(

    If you really have some spare time, or bored to death, you can check my "real" profile from www.crazyerics.com -you'll know me by name. ;)
