The study of Latin is a dangerous thing because it imparts to you
a Jovian sense of "imperium sine fine dedi" and a youthful belief
that you can attain anything to which you set your Latinate mind.

"Non Omnis Moriar MULTAque pars mei vitabit Libitinam" became the
"Nommulta" secret AI name of an artificial mind in an independent
scholar's attempt at mentificium.   Now the resulting mind-design
is being labeled as the "Standard Model" so as to jolt and cajole
you who may have better ideas to "thes ta chremata pou to stoma."
