Anyone know latin?

[TerryBPP]

Can you translate this?

Live fast, die free.

I used a translator online but I think the sentence form will be different.

vivo velox abolesco libertas

[sivaDseliM]

Can't remember all declensions/conjugations, so can't help with the sentence structure really. But, I'd probably use "celer" for fast rather than "velox". More of a fast vs. speed difference. Also, the idea of death had lots of different connotations and words. Might look for one with a "-mort-" root. More obvious to folks.

Yikes! now I can hear all of the parts of the Aeneid and Caesar's History of the Gallic War we had to memorize going through my head! "Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris . . . " AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

[Edit] Also, libertas is more like "freedom" (n.) so you could use "cum libertas" or look for a word more like "free". I think it's "libere"

Seriously, I would not trust rough translation on something like this...Definitely find a prof or theological scholar with Latin specialty to help...There is probably something perfect that renders the spirit of your request.

Biggus Dickus?? Why do you laugh when I say....Biggus....Dickus?? He had a wife you know...her name was Incontenitia Buttocks....
