    Here's a farely recent one:

    "It’s fun to shoot some people… You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."

    Who wrote the following in his Satires? (That's the hint....)

    "Pone seram, cohibe." Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Cauta est et ab illis incipit uxor!

    Decimus Junius Juvenal.... roughly translates into

    "Bolt her in, keep her indoors." But who is to guard the guards themselves? Your wife arranges accordingly and begins with them."

    I've read it before...within the last year. But I'm darned if I can name the source! I'll probably kick myself when I read the answer.

    By the way...I find it interesting that you will be studying Roman history.

    I have a rather beautiful leather-bound volume of Livy coming soon. Can't wait!!! :P

    Ah yes Livy... I remember suffering through those... how many volumes does he have??? My first task is to learn Latin... and then start the schooling... I would really like to study it overseas, probably in Italy... the nearer the source the better the intel

    Livy was a prolific writer, I couldn't number his opusae; the volume I'm awaiting is his History of Early Rome.

    I'm currently attempting to master the language....dreadfully difficult without a Doctore! :P
