I don't see a point. It's been a dead language for how long?

Latin is a dead language, as dead as dead can be. It killed the ancient romans, and now it's killing me!

f*ck you, i was just about to post that!

makes ya smarter I guess?

In Croatia it has been in official use till 150 years ago (1848), in Church official till 50 years ago (1964). And I'm a historian so I appreciate my high school and college Latin because it had proved to me his purpose. I learned ancient Greek and Cyrillic and I can write some Arab and Hieroglyphic (just a couple names like Cleopatra).

But I honestly believe that if it doesn't interest you, you shouldn't have to learn them.

not to mention the:

Instead of satiating the god's, many of these "scientists" have tried to control el nino with "science". They put up expensive fish-attracting Buoys that run on flashlight batteries. Imagine, fighting the wrath of the gods with 'flashlight batteries'. Needless to say this didn't work, and everyone died.
