Tabdula the Great, at times like this I find it appropriate to turn to Latin.
Ah, Latin! Dead tongue of fallen empires! Scourge of the parochially educated!
What Chestnut from the mouth of Cicero or Caesar shall we invoke to guide us through these turbulent hours? Which intonation of Pliny the Elder shall we recall to be our compass in this vast tempest-tossed sea upon which we are now embarked? (Ok, that's Shakespeare, with a bit of Emma Lazarus thrown in, but like Mr. Vargas from Fast Times said, "I just switched to Sanka, so have a heart.")
None. For none of those Ancients was the author of the phrase:
Illegitimi Non Carborundum.
