1. Let's suppose that George Lucas wrote "Star Wars" in Latin. It means that the scene just prior to Luke Skywalker destroying the Death Star would contain the following voice over (by Alec Guinness - aka Obi Wan). Sic semper tyrannis Domus dulcis domus Pretium iustum est Sit vis vobiscum

2. You're very concerned over how many of the largest oceanic mammals are left alive, so you shout what? Anulos qui animum ostendunt omnes gestemus! Brevior saltare cum deformibus mulieribus est vita! Balaenae nobis conservandae sunt! Latine loqui coactus sum!

3. A certain king of pop might have shouted this when he was covered in a shower of sparks while filming a Pepsi commercial. Di! Ecce hora! Uxor mea me necabit! Mei capilli flagrantes sunt! Credo elvem etiam vivere Anulos qui animum ostendunt omnes gestemus!

4. You're a teacher, and you've heard every excuse in the book. You roll your eyes when a student says this about his missing homework. Da mihi sis cerevisiam dilutam Canis meus id comedit Magnus frater spectat te Nemo me impune lacessit

6. You're watching a classic film set mostly in a land somewhere over the rainbow. At one point, the protagonist looks down at her tiny companion and says: Brevis esse latoro obscurus fio Certe, Toto, sentio nos in Kansate non iam adesse Id tibi praebet speciem lepidissimam! Meum cerebrum nocet

8. You're on a date at an Italian restaurant. Just after you sample the manicotti al forno, your date leans forward and whispers something to you. You blush with embarrassment as you tidy up with a napkin. What did she say? In dentibus anticis frustrum magnum spiniciae habes Id tibi praebet speciem lepidissimam Fortunatus sum! Pila mea de gramine horrido modo in pratum lene recta volvit Da mihi sis bubulae frustrum assae, solana tuberosa in modo gallico fricta, ac quassum lactatum coagulatum crassum

9. You're reading a new Garfield strip, and in this one Jon is angry because Garfield has just made an unwelcome addition to the living room carpet. In a fit of baffled anger, Jon says what?

10. It's been a long day (and a long quiz). You'd like nothing more but to kick back with a refreshing and fermented brewed beverage.
