I stand both ninjaed and corrected. And isn't that last: "the only good language is a dead one"?
Yep. :D

Answer me this;

Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari?
Ok, here's my best guess as to what that means:
How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
Did I get it right? As for the question itself, I'm afraid I cannot answer for want of skill in Latin and biology.
You got the question right, the answer in English that I've always given is "as much wood as a woodchuck would chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood" but I can't be bothered to translate that right now.

Area Gloris is the only Latin I know, and it means "Heavenly Glory".

Considering almost every western language is based on Latin, it can't be that bad.
