Please remove my name and contents from this site, as I do not allow my name or reputation to ever be associated with impropriety.

I expect this to be done immediately and an email forwarded to confirm that my membership and all records have been permanently deleted.

Hijack Alert

"Ad astra per alia porci"

As near as I can translate this, it means "Toward a heavenly body by means of a different pig."

What's a clearer translation of that?

Hijack Alert

It means "To the stars on the garlic plants of a pig."

Someone miscopied John Steinbeck's personal motto, and the erroneous version got spread over the web and everyone now seems to quote the error.

It should be: Ad astra per alas porci.' - That means "To the stars on the wings of a pig."

Hijack Alert

Yep, I prefer the misquote. I intended for it to be a quiet reminder to handle the internet carefully. You can argue any side of any argument using the internet, complete with all of its misquotations and erroneous references - as well as all of its correct information.

I can't spend too much time on that site without my eyeballs starting to bleed.

Possible solution?
Don't go there at all.

If the graphics/background didn't jump around so much and make it so hard to navigate it would be a lot better. There actually is a lot of good info on that site.

It just needs to be plainer and cleaner.

Thanks

Thanks both for the latin lesson. Good advice Adam, but probably too hidden from those who need it to do much good.
