Keeping me up nights
Okay, so the map that was on the back of the blast door on "LOST" has been keeping me up nights. I am incredibly thankful to my nerdy love of Latin because when I finally found close up images of the map on the net I recognized some of them as commonly used phrases, and others I realized were quotes from other works that are fairly familiar e.g.:
- Aegrescit menendo: the remedy is worse than the disease (anyone remember this from Sedition?);
- Sursum corda: lift up your hearts (some smartasses on TWOP referenced DC)
- Malum consilium quod mutari non potest: it's a bad plan that can't be changed (I got this one after some struggling, but my skills are coming back)
- Malum non fidit atra: even evil is afraid of the dark; I can see the case for mus udit non fidit atro, a mouse does not rely on one hole, as well.
