Cane decane, canis? Sed ne cane, cane decane, de cane; de canis, cane decane, cane.
Do you sing, o white-haired old man? But please don't sing about your dog, o venerable old man; Sing about your old age.*



Quantum materiƦ materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
