Please tell me that I'm not the only one that didn't get the in-joke of this title:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempus_fugit

grumble I feel like a dork for never noticing this before.

I think I'd heard of Tempus fugit before, but didn't know exactly what it meant.


I think, therefore, I get bananas.

When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.

What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.

I certainly didn't get it. And I had Latin at school... blush But the term never came up, as far as I can remember.

It's Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice. Hey, you (or I) learn something new every day. Didn't know that one.
