I am sitting here watching Countdown (Like I do everyday at this time), and I hear him say "Cogito ergo sum".
I have a black t-shirt that I had made with that very same quote on it! How cool is that?
I often wear it to work, and refused to explain what it meant to anybody for the first two months that I wore it. This forced a number of them to look it up because it was driving them crazy. There were a couple of geniuses who were able to figure it out, but most were Catholics who had some knowledge of Latin.
Anyhow I just think it was really cool that Olbermann said it on the air. Okay geeky moment is now over.
(No I will not tell you what it means. But feel free to look it up.)
you radical you...wearing Latin on your clothes....driving folks crazy ....( they have a hard enough time with English)....

I don't think I've ever worn Latin. My Dom Perignon t-shirt probably doesn't count.
I saw the Olbermann piece tonight. Very cool, especially when he gave the fuller explanation.
