My favourite bit of graffiti comes from Ancient Rome - I heard about it on a program on Discovery, or the History channel, and I love it because it shows the more we change the more we stay the same. Apparently it reads 'Crassus has a fatty ass'. Would anyone be willing to translate this bit of trivia for me? I would be very grateful.
Well, one way to translate it would be
"Crassus culum pinguem habet"
further gutter Latin query

Thanks George much appreciated. How correct is this: 'Semper in excretum, sed alta variat'?
That means: "We are always in the sh!t, only (but) the depth varies."
My latin is very bad
noch slechter als mein Deutsch. konnen sie bitte ubersetzen:)
Sorry, I don't know any better English translation.
(But if your German is always like what you've written above - well, I'm sure my English is indeed better than your German.)
Stumble It!
