At least in WWI they had the beginnings of modern medicine; some pain relief, some ways to combat infection. Try the American Civil War: got shot in a limb? Off it comes ricky-tick, no anaesthetic. Or the Crimean War: more allied troops died of dysentery than wounds. How would you like to poo yourself to death?

Hey John117 (or anyone else who aced Latin):

Finitio ultima est Caelum. Cursi sunt navissidereui "Inceptus", quinque anno legatio sua, terras novas et peregrinas explorare, inauditam vitam ignotas civilizationesque quaerere, ubi nemo iam adfuit audacter ire.

Titus Livius on Marcus Manlius Capitolinus who after having defended the Capitol against the Gauls tried to overthrow the republic and was sentenced to death:

Hunc exitum habuit vir, nisi in libera civitate natus esset, memorabilis.
Such was the end of a man who, had he not been born in a free State, would have attained distinction.
Titus Livius, Ab urbe condita, book VI, chapter 20, line 14

Let's see:

Finitio ultima est Caelum. Cursus est navis sidere vi "Inceptus", quinque anno legatio sua, terras novas et peregrinas explorare, inauditam vitam ignotas civilisationesque quaerere, ubi nemo iam adfuit audacter ire.
The final frontier is Heaven. The star-powered-ship "Enterprise", in the fifth year of its mission, set off to explore new and foreign earths, to search unheard lifes and unknown civilisations, to boldly go where nobody has ever visited.

The beginning of the second phrase gave me quite a headache. I got it only at the last subordinate clause. I corrected the misstakes.

@John-117: Judging from your feeble online-translator-attempts you didn't even half a lesson of Latin.

"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise, her five year mission; to explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before!"

Coming soon.

Isn't it 'continuing mission'?

**oudysseos** · 03-31-2009, 20:35

Ok, I was this close to changing my signature to the latin version of Star Trek.

I honestly would love to see that included just for the priceless look on people's face when they would see it.

I've got that book I was talking about as a birthday present today.
950 pages of historical quotes. I'm sure there'll be something useful in there. The only drawback is that the original quote in the original language isn't there.

you should cite the source, not just shoot a random quote.

luckily for you, I know where this came from: Terence, in Phormio, 2nd century BC (it was quoted by Virgil and I think Ovid, but I don't rememberthe latter for sure).
