Never Shatner?

Try these on for size... (anyone care to try translating?)

  • Imus ad magum Ozi videndum, magum Ozi mirum mirissimum.
  • Solum potestis prohibere ignes silvarum.
  • Fac ut gaudeam.
  • Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis.
  • Sit vis nobiscum.
 
I should have known I would have no clue when I read the title! :(
 
Now I know I should never go on a thread where I can't understand the title! Exit stage left!
 
OK - the title of the thread is what Never uses as her Title - "Ad eundum quo nemo ante" Translated from the Latin it means "To boldly go where no man has gone before." Hence my comment, "Never Shatner" - its quite a clever title since she's a Star Trek fan and a Lesbian.

So I posted some other well known phrases in Latin to see if anyone could translate them. I'll give you the first one for free...

"Imus ad magum Ozi videndum, magum Ozi mirum mirissimum."

Translated:

"We are going to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz."

Anyone care to try and guess the others?

Fac ut gaudeam. Make my day!

Sit vis nobiscum. May the force be with you.

All the Catholic schooling finally paid off. :D

Excellent!

* Solum potestis prohibere ignes silvarum.
* Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis.

Try these on for size:

Perscriptio in manibus tabellariorum est

Braccae tuae aperiuntur

Raptus regaliter

Visne saltare? Viam Latam Fungosam scio

Very good Lavy babe... must be that lawyer training and all...

I'll answer just one and leave the rest for others... unless they don't play...

"Perscriptio in manibus tabellariorum est" - THE CHECK IS IN THE MAIL! *grin*
 
No latin lessons. But armed with my trusty dictioanry...

* Solum potestis prohibere ignes silvarum.
'Only you can prevent forest fires.'

* Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis.
I have something here but I've never heard any saying/phrase like it , so it is probably wrong. Although it does sound OK.
'Behind the darkness hides ignorance.'
Although my dictionary claims that lateris means a brick or ingot.
 
"Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis"

Lavy got it already - "You Do Not Know The Power of the Dark Side"
 
Lavender, don't you know?
No one is allowed to post while I'm composing a post.

Or hasn't Laurel mentioned that?;)
