As the Catholic Church strives to keep Latin alive, don’t you think Catholics should be able to laugh at these translations from the Latin?

Sharpei diem: Seize the wrinkled dog.

Veni, vidi, Pesci: I came, I saw, I moidered da bum.

Domino vobiscum: The pizza delivery guy is here.

 

ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE:

    ‘Diem’ means ‘day’ though! ‘Carpe’ is the ‘to seize’ part of that familiar phrase. ;)
