1. "The hermit crab broke out of the terrarium" |
|
Or it might mean "I have terrible stinky gas" - I forget.

It essentially means that if you are too afraid of dying, you will never truly live.
I'm 58% sure that's correct.

8. I could be wrong, but it doesn't appear to be good latin. |
|
If Conservito is taken not as a latin word per se, but as a proper name, say, of a conservative group, this could be a poorly constructed latin sentence, with a lot of errors, that roughly means: Conservito should be wiped out for they would wipe out the world. That's just a guess. I'm not exactly sure how to properly phrase that, but this is a try:
Conservito delendum est quia orbem terrarum delere conaturi sunt.

12. Latin's a dead language, as dead as dead can be; first it killed the Romans, and now it's killing |
