Yes Weasel the sooner it is reveiled (as opposed to revealed) the better

@Weasel: What is the english translation of this?

Cur opera Latina non solum antiqua, sed recentiora etiam omnibus litterarum Latinarum studiosis tam in ludis quam in studiorum universitatibus proponi praelegique debeant.
Cum linguae Latinae facta est mentio, nihil prius cogitant plerique quam homunculos togatos in foro discurrentes, quam senatum gravem et austerum, quam legiones, quam gladiatores - ne multa, quam Romanos antiquos, quam rem antiquam. Attamen, quae res haudquaquam est ignota sed a multis nec diligenter percepta nec penitus intellecta, longe aliter atque Hittitorum vel Babyloniorum vel quarumlibet gentium demortuarum sermones, lingua Latina non est res tantum antiqua, non est una cum gente Romana exstincta. Immo potius communis illius litterarum Latinarum patrimonii longe minima pars est antiqua. Per aevum non solum medium, quod dicitur, verum etiam recentiora secula, florebat lingua Latina, florebant litterae Latinae.

Nihilominus a professoribus in studiorum universitatibus, a magistris in ludis plerumque docetur lingua Latina velut si antiqua tantum et gentis Romanae propria fuerit, nec quidquam post imperii Romani interitum sit Latine scriptum. Ne fando quidem auditur illud: esse usquam litterarum verbi gratia Gallicarum facultatem, ubi omnia Gallice post mortuum Ludovicum regem eius nominis quartum decimum scripta praetermittantur, neglegantur, sileantur. Cur igitur tali modo tractantur litterae Latinae?

Sciatis autem oportet, lectores benevoli, haec dicta mea haud ad omnes regiones nationesve pertinere. In Hispania, verbi gratia, quamvis pauci adhuc Latinitatem vivam illic colant, permulti tamen qui in linguae Latinae et philologiae Latinae facultatibus versantur studiis litterarum Latinarum recentiorum sunt dediti. Apud Scandinavos etiam operibus Latinis recentiore aetate compositis in litterarum classicarum facultatibus hac nostra aetate datur opera. At plerisque in regionibus res aliter ni fallor sese habent, praesertim in America Septentrionali, in Brittania, in aliis regionibus quas incolunt Anglice loquentes.

Haudquaquam suadeo ut auctores classici ex institutione Latina tollantur. At recentiores esse addendos curriculisque studiorum ordinariis includendos affirmo. Vel tironibus et studia linguae Latinae ingredientibus locos ex scriptoribus antiquis, mediaevalibus, recentioribus ex aequo selectos proponere debere magistros et praeceptores contendo, ita ut linguae Latinae studentes ab ipsis initiis aliquatenus saltem intellegant qualis fuerit vera linguae Latinae historia, quales homines non solum antiquitus, at recentioribus etiam temporibus sua cogitata Latine expresserint, ne multa - quam varium, multiplex, ingens sit patrimonium Latinum.

Contra dixerit forsitan quispiam linguam Latinam posterioribus illis temporibus nemini patriam fuisse, neminem per totum medium aevum, neminem per totam Renascentiam (quae dicitur) linguam Latinam una cum lacte materno imbibisse. At unumquemque Romanum antiquum vel primas voces Latinas edidisse. Praecipuam igitur operam dari debere (praesertim a tironibus) iis auctoribus quibus Latinus sermo fuerit lingua patria, qui a primis cunabulis Latine loquentes adoleverint. Hac de causa linguam Latinam a Romanorum antiquorum cultu civili separari non posse: itaque institutionem nostram Latinam semper cum Romanorum antiquorum cultus civilis studiis esse coniungendam. Auctores vere classicos ad quos institutio nostra Latina semper spectare debeat esse Romanos illos antiquos.

Talia dicentibus credo me responsa dare posse idonea. Primum, haudquaquam mihi est propositum ut cultus civilis Romanorum cognitio et tractatio e studiis Latinis prorsus tollatur, sed potius ut aliqua gentium Europaearum saeculorumque posteriorum notitia studiis Latinis ordinariis addatur. Deinde, reputemus oportet haud omnibus qui sub imperatoribus Romanis Latine scripserint linguam Latinam fuisse sermonem patrium. Quam enim primam linguam in cunabulis iacentes et infantes audiverunt Columella, Quintilianus, Tertullianus, Augustinus, Claudianus, Ammianus Marcellinus, quorum nemo in Italia (nedum Romae) est natus? Veri simile mihi videtur horum paucos, fortasse nullos, primas voces aut audisse aut ipsos edidisse Latinas. At nemo horum a litterarum Latinarum professoribus hac nostra aetate reicitur. Lectitantur, ut exemplum ex alia disciplina sumamus, in litterarum Anglicarum facultatibus opera Iosephi Conrad et Vladimiri Nabokov, quorum neutri patrius fuit sermo Anglicus. Denique, eo dignior est Latinitas media et moderna quae linguam Latinam discentibus innotescat, quod sermo ille nemini patrius at omnibus quodammodo communis tanquam omnium doctorum, quacumque lingua vernacula utebantur, vinculum exstabat, quod quamvis nemini vernaculus sermo fuerit Latinus, litterae Latinae sicut vix antea florebant. Haec est res singularis et scitu digna, praesertim si illud etiam reputamus: non ad res tantum ecclesiasticas, verum ad res quoque saeculares tractandas, ad argumenta quam maxime varia illam linguam communem esse adhibitam. Ausim forsitan vel illud contendere: litterarum Latinarum patrimonii nobis traditi posteriorem partem maioris esse momenti quam priorem et primitivam. His enim litteris continetur cultus civilis Europaei fundamentum. His litteris ad historiam Europaeam et ad ipsas quodammodo mentes et cogitationes eorum qui scientias et disciplinas nostras condiderunt, auxerunt, promoverunt, aditus praebetur. Hac denique lingua scriptitabant non obscuri quidam et ignoti, sed summi homines, quales erant Petrus Abaelardus, Thomas Aquinas, Desiderius Erasmus, Copernicus, Johannes Bodin, tot alii ut citius harenas numerare quam eorum nomina recensere valeam.

Quispiam forsitan roget num talium librorum editiones exstent non solum criticae, quas di****, verum ad magistrorum et discipulorum usum aptae et accommodatae. Exstant sane, et plures in annos singulos prodeunt. Aliquot eiusmodi libelli praefationibus et commentariis sunt instructi optimis quibus rerum novitates et omnia quae ad opus ipsum pertineant ita explicentur ut magistris vix sit necesse alios libros consulere. Praeterea si pauciores litterarum Latinarum studiosi, qui diplomata doctoralia in studiorum universitatibus nostris expetant, commentationes suas de Virgilio et Cicerone et Sallustio et eorum similibus exscribant, at plures candidati recentioribus operibus Latinis diligenter atque secundum rationes novissimas edendis operam dare velint, tum plura Latinitatis recentioris monumenta sint magistris in promptu, quae suis praelegant discipulis. At quaedam dicamus de studiorum universitatibus ipsis oportet

Necesse scilicet est historicis vel linguarum vernacularum professoribus, vel philosophis vel theologis vel aliarum etiam disciplinarum peritis opera Latina recentioribus temporibus condita nonnumquam perlegere. Porro talium disciplinarum professores non pauci ob indagationes eiusmodi susceptas litteris Neolatinis eruditissimi evaserunt. At fere idem de aliis linguis dici potest. Verbi gratia, si qui litterarum Gallicarum professor opera quaedam Gallice saeculo septimo decimo composita melius intellegere cupiverit, illi fortasse erit necesse libros Hispanice vel Anglice scriptos evolvere. Historicis necesse est rerum quas investigant fontes omnes quibuslibet linguis conditos perscrutari. Sed ut generatim et universe loquamur, quamvis harum disciplinarum professor unus aut alter litteras calleat Latinas et Neolatinas hisque litteris operam det permagnam, nulla ex his disciplinis in ipso linguae litterarumque Neolatinarum studio principaliter versatur, idque iure ac merito: nam ad litteras Latinas tractandas harum disciplinarum est condita nulla. Qua igitur in facultate sita est ipsa litteras Latinas recentiores investigandi et docendi provincia? In nulla. Si rem aequa pependimus lance, nonne illud videtur subabsurdum? Studium illud quod ad totius cultus civilis Europaei fundamentum praecipue pertineat, quo studio ad omnes disciplinas humanas (quae vocantur) noscendas et provehendas maioris momenti sit nullum, nusquam locum habere primarium, at semper subsidiarium esse aliisque disciplinis quodammodo subiectum (haec scilicet dicta mea ad plerasque regiones pertinet: res aliter in quibusdam locis sese habere minime me latet, sicut superius iam asseveravi). At ad quas facultates magis pertinere debet hoc studium quam ad litterum Latinarum facultates? Qui ad litteras Latinas recentiores docendas et investigandas magis sunt idonei quam ipsi Latinistae, hoc est litterarum Latinarum professores? At litterarum classicarum facultates quales nunc videmus aliter nuncupari debent. Appellandae enim mea sententia sunt facultates 'eorum qui res a Graecis Romanisque gestas tractant', utpote in quibus tam cultui Graecorum Romanorumque civili quam harum gentium scriptis opera fere ex aequo detur. Hoc igitur contendo: in omni linguarum vel litterarum classicarum facultate, quae quidem recte et vere sic nuncupetur, totam Latinitatem (et totam Graecitatem), id est litteras Latinas (et Graecas) quacumque aetate conditas ex aequo tractandas investigandas docendas. Haud enim aliter historia linguarum, quae classicae vocantur, vera et plena tractari potest.

Propono ut haec litteras Latinas docendi ratio etiam in ludis sive secundariis sive superioribus, vel in gymnasiis (quae aliquando vocantur), non solum in universitatibus, suscipiatur et pro ordinaria habeatur. Ab ipsis institutionis Latinae initiis discipulos scire oportet Latinitatem Europaeam esse linguam, multorum saeculorum, multarum aetatum, multarum gentium communem, non antiquam tantum et Romanam: ab ipsis initiis oportet eos non tantum hoc scire, verum scripta quaedam ex Latinitate recentiore selecta haud aliter legere atque scripta Romana.

1. If Weasel was all-powerful, could he make a rock so big that he himself couldn't lift it?

2. A man once dreamt that he was a weasel slithering here and there. In the dream he had no awareness of his individuality as a person. He was only a weasel. Suddenly, he awoke and found himself laying there, a person once again. But then he thought to himself, "Was I before a man who dreamt about being a weasel, or am I now a weasel who dreams about being a man?"

(1.) a circle of sorts...being all-powerful would mean any rock should and could be lifted...even one weasel makes that should or could be too heavy to lift.
(2.)"A man once dreamt" To have this awareness should tell him he was a man dreamt he was a weasel.

If Weasel decides that he's indecisive, which one is he?

Can a hearse driver drive a corpse in the Car Pool lane?

Why do birds have white poop?

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

If you're in hell, and are mad at someone, where do you tell them to go?

Why does Donald Duck wear a towel when he comes out of the shower, when he doesn't usually wear any pants?

If God dropped acid, would he see people?
