I am especially fond of Aimč's new/old sig. I wonder why . . .

Gratias tibi ago.
I'm not sure how long it will last, though. It was mostly a spontaneous change after getting rather tired of my previous sig. Something werewolf-related, easily translated into Latin, and slightly random.

Right, that was going to be my third guess. (Not. ) Hmmm... wonder why it seemed so familiar, as I haven't seen/heard Jesus Christ Superstar.

Very true - I just happened to see a programme about REM and how "Losing my Religion" meant losing your temper .. I too have always liked the song but now it makes more sense And it was a nice vaguely creepy (though random) tagline for werewolf....

Nay, Erenor.
I like yours a bit better. It's very imaginative.

Oh indeed - that's a great one Kitanna! It's so amusing, and true.

Because I'm learning Latin, and it gives me practice. *Finds Dictionary* Why did the werewolf cross the road? It didn't! All werewolves are continuously destroyed! Victory to the village! Alas for the victims! When will it be marked by? The middle line seems a bit suspect.

Actually, my dictionary gave me continenter as consecutively. Referencing WWJ VI where the three wolves were killed in the first three days. It feels extremely braggish though, and I'm going to change it here soon to something else (probably also in Latin...) But thank you.

Thank you, Folwren! I'm glad people are enjoying my quotes and words of the day...
I'm going to start trying (when I have time) to select quotes less randomly, but don't count on it.

But surely "Eidolon" means "duck of doom" in the dialect of Sindarin prevalent in Harlindon early in the second age?

Actually, Mith, it's derived from the Latin.

Isn't it though? Just the fact that there IS such a word is, in a word, delightful.

Once, in Prague, I had the pleasure of seeing the site of a famous mediaeval defenestration. It was still the same window, remarkably. I felt rather honoured.
Apparently the Czechs rather went in for it. edit: or out for it. Whichever.

Me too!! It was one of the few really memorable things from A-Level history. I think the information desk woman was sick of people asking....

After all this approval, you have no idea how difficult it was to change my sig this morning. But the show must go on...
