"People called Romanes, they go the house?"

One of my favorite bits from "Life of Brian". My nephew is having a Latin final today so I suggested he watch this in place of studying for it. :D

1. Probably my favorite scene in that whole movie.

After I took my AP German test I watched it and literally rolled on the floor laughing. It's humorous for students of any language.

2. My favorite part is when he draws his sword at the word 'dative'

"No, uh...Accusative! Accusative!" :rofl:

[Orsino]

3. I give the edge to the scenes of soldiers trying not to laugh...

...at the name...Biggus..........Dickus!

4. I think we watched this in our Latin class....

So many years lost for a dead language

5. Did he watch it?

I begged, pleaded and even tried bribes on Blogslut junior. The child just wouldn't watch it. I may try again. It would give me an excuse to buy the DVD.

6. I'll bet he did.

His Dad (my brother) is instilling his kids with our sense of humor. :thumbsup:

7. I was dating a classics major when that film came out

and I saw it with him and his friends.

It is a fearsome thing indeed to be sitting among a row of people who are helpless with laughter. (I'm enough of a language buff to find the scene really funny, too, but the classics majors were laughing so hard they couldn't breathe.)

8. "but I DO hate the Romans!"

"Oh yeah? How much?"



"A lot!"

[Richardo]

10. "Right. You're in."

:D

9. 'I'm not oppressin' you, Stan!

You 'aven't got a womb! Where's the foetus gonna gestate? You gonna keep it in a box?"
