Shudder, now dlowan is really getting scary.
Laputian proverb:
Lite Latu Purita Ulus Arialos Falu Mitori.
I have no idea what it means. Perhaps Osso Buco or Lord Ellpus can translate it.

Not me. And I thought it was Liliputian. Hmmm, or Lilliputian. Back to school I go again.

Well, perhaps some should read Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels again :wink:
Would you explain that, Walter?

Well, I'd thought of J. Swift's "Gulliver's Voyage to Laputa".
At least I think that's the only place where people speak Laputian.
(The animated film
(Laputa:) Castle in the Sky was inspired by Swift's novel, if I'm not totally wrong.)
Consider the smell of wet wool--pink wet wool.
Think about the Conventions of Silverfish who will assemble under the object.
Convention of Silverfish, I can picture it now.
On Laputa, I didn't remember that. I haven't read Gulliver's Travels since 1960. So I looked in Google, found the Wikipedia commentary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulliver's_Travels)
and this breakdown of the plot/structure -
1 Plot and Structure
1.1 Part I : A Voyage To Lilliput
1.2 Part II : A Voyage to Brobdingnag
1.3 Part III : A Voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Glubdubdribb, Luggnagg and Japan
1.4 Part IV : A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms
So, I relearn something new every day...

Lite Latu Purita Ulus Arialos Falu Mitori.
Lite = Taste
Latu = Milk, low in fat.
Purita = natural
Ulus = erect.
Arialos = Teat, or nipple. (Human.)
Falu = Desire, or want.
Mitori = Me, myself or I.
So, basically the phrase translates to " I want to taste some semi skimmed organic milk, direct from an erect nipple"
Don't get me started on the old proverb "Mitori falu Rumpy Ulus con Viagra"
