i found them in a discworld novel (Jingo) but does Terry Pratchett (the best author in the world) have copyright over the whole of the language of latin?
and did he invent the phrase Veni, Vidi, Vici? i think not!

and it doesnt really matter \'cause a lot of the sigs are from books or movies et cetera

you cant see it with your eyes, hold it with your hand, like the wind it covers all land, this thing called love.
It can lift you up never put you down, take your world and turn it all around.
Ever since time nothings ever been found
thats stronger than love

Sorry for any offence I was just saying that its not exactly an original idea altering veni, vidi, vici (yes I do know that he didn\'t make that up) to something a bit funier when translated and I should have put a smilie on my comment.

Pratchett is an excellent fantasy comic author, I agree with that

I said this thead was pointless for many reasons. first of all i stared a thread about finding a kitten and now i have a new member to my family. that is interesting to most. your making a subject just for words in your sig. Cmon many people have made threads for thier sig, and they have usually been flamed for it because it is boring, why should you be any different? I have probation because of a number of things, but making interesting, boring, pointless threads is not one of them. If I made a thread like this, i would be flamed to a charcoal. Im not going to take it easy on you just because people view some of my material the same as yours. Now if you had made a thread for the elven language or latin, sure why not. But just for your sig is just retarded. Now as for where veni, vidi, vici is easy. Julias Ceasar of course said it and afterward it almost became the roman chant. Even after he was killed you could hear it being mumbled in the streets, or as pluto put it. Anyways i dont know why you would put such a wonderfull quote mixed with such dumb ones as \"i threw up\" and \"i can see your house from here\" but thats your decision....

I knew I\'ve seen those somewhere!  There\'s like a whole site  I stumbled upon that have different phrases for those too.

And whemy, shut up, your cat thing is no different no matter how much you think it is...and I could give a link to the many locked/crap threads you\'ve made.

Indeed.  Whemy you are in no position to chastise anyone for making a spam thread.  I am though.  :]

Only n00bs don't quote themselves...

how do you know?
and anyway thinking that just because you know you are going to be flamed if you were to open a similiar thread is that any reason to flame me for it?

Does he own copyright on them? actually yes! he does, obviously not veni vedi vici (obviously spoke by Ceaser) but the other pig latin phrases were his creation, and obviously not true latin.
Theres nothing else to be said in this thread so all shut up.  :]  :D
