Anyway, to make things worse for myself I think I can actually reconstruct what happened. I believe our friend wanted to translate 'I bring death' into Latin. He took out an English-Latin dictionary, looked up the verb 'to bring' (always given in the first person singular, simple present, i.e. 'veho') and the noun 'death' (always given in the first and second declension, i.e. 'nex, necis') and then just strung them together. Of course the effort is laudable, even if the result is not.

Optimist always see donut, pessimist always see hole.
