What we learn? The Latin and Greek could jump of the options available to college students. The debate is keen to opposethese dead languages intellectual virtues to the bas-du-front pragmatism that is to be operational for the world of business from the age of 15 years ("that they learn Chinese, it's them that have the money!") for example then the latin is not completely disconnected from the requirements of the world of work. In any case in certain branches where it is fashionable to touch a little in declensions. The proof:
- Latin teacher
Yes, latin, it's a discipline that is auto-nourrit. The first interest to learn latin, is to transmit it. In fact, it may even be the sole interest. - Pope
If you want to be a serious Pope, do not go to show off with your studies from Greek, you'll spend for a hippie. - Prophet (of the apocalypse)
An end of the world, it looks in white Toga with a Bell, perched on a Chair in the middle of the street, and in LATIN!Any attempt you would spend for a terrorist potential. While a "Ibi deficit orbis" shouted on a rush hour subway platform, it makes its small effect. - Lawyer
If your customers include everything that you say, you serve more to nothing. For example, if you start an explanation "from what I understood of the civil code...", will be asked what is your added value compared to a bar owner. On the other hand, if you drag a "De lege lata" the air of nothing, they say 'Oh yeah, this type knows his profession'. Similarly, prefer a "Dura lex, sed lex" to "thats how bad it is"or"What do you want that I tell you... "" - Catholic fundamentalist
Mass, it's already a bit boring, if more understood nothing, it is simply a way of the cross (you?). So if you want to benefit from reduction ' on the bus for the demonstration for all or if you consider a career of Crusaders to regain the Holy land to the heretics of all kinds, will have to seriously dent your genitive and your dative. - Owned
If you plan to host Beelzebub and rotate your head swinging big words, including concerning the mother of your interlocutor, the latin is required (otherwise, Aramaic is equally the case). So, if you opt for a career as an Exorcist, it is also advisable. - Emperor Roman
Why there is more of good Roman emperors lately in Europe? Because the latin classes are empty! Simply! We are letting the monopoly of dictatorships to the Chinese and the North Koreans, is not with courses of techno and recorder in 4th will be a remake of worthy of the name empires. Because even in positions subordinate, centurion, decurion, entrance exams are in latin, and he is not entitled to the dictionary. - Zoologist
Suppose, you browse the Amazon rainforest or the Antarctic, you come face to face with a new unknown critter in the battalion and you have him spinning a name. If you have dried the course of latin, you will respond with fix a poor "monkey-salmon" or "papilloceros", and everyone is going to fuck your mouth and call you "le chasseur de dahu". On the other hand, if you give your new friend the name of "Lepidoptera Rhinocerotidae", on filera you a Nobel Prize (and your MOM will be proud). - Alternative text editor
When you want to highlight a page layout and divert the attention of the reader from the text itself, using a fake latin text, starting usually with "Lorem ipsum..." Except to know that it is fake Latin and find it funny, it should already have made the true latin. Latin, it is the Royal Road to the humor of printing. - King of Orkney
Although in this case, simply learn by heart a small slew of quotes. "Placet and spiritus Mundi", it makes no sense but it could very well imagine a translation of the type: "the Reed bend, but sells... If something goes wrong" what does mean nothing no more.
It has long hesitated with quotes from Dhalsim, and then it is said that when even a man who turned the English home cannot be bad. Great good did us because it fell on a gold mine.When the friend Gandhi took the feather was often not dumb stuff to say. Small selection:
- "At the moment where the slave decides that it will no longer be slave, his chains fall."
- "The victory obtained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary."
- "Non-violence is my first article of faith. It is also the last article of my creed. "
- "There well enough on this earth for the needs of all, but not enough for the ambition of everyone."
- "My life is my only teaching."
- "" Everyone is right from his own point of view, but it is not impossible that everyone else is wrong."
- "Civilization is not to multiply the needs but to reduce them voluntarily, deliberately. This only brings true happiness."
- "The weak cannot forgive. Forgive belongs to the strong."
- "Be the change you want to see in the world."
- "How can we get to know yourself?" "Through meditation, ever, but by action."
- "Calling"the weaker sex"women is a libel; This is the injustice of the man with his wife. If non-violence is the law of humanity, the future belongs to women. "
- "If you practice 'eye for eye, tooth for a tooth', the world will soon be blind and toothless."
- "By opposing hatred hatred, is that spread, surface and depth"
- "Fatalism has limits. We have to rely on the fate only when we have exhausted all remedies."
- "Whenever you're in doubt, apply the following test: remember the poorest person and the lowest you have encountered in your life and ask yourself if what you are about to make will be of any usefulness"
If you believe that Americans will dominate the world forever, know that their reign is for the moment only slab compared to that of the Romans. And during the Millennium that lasted the empire of the guys in togas who bouffaient elongated grapes, we had a nice handful of tyrants not degueux who didn't much give a shit of what the people could think of them. Small overview of these men who fear nothing.
(Before you get all teachers of history on the back, it is evident that most of the info is not verifiable, it is even likely that some are from books written after the death of the emperors in order kill their reputation. But there is no smoke without fire... Our sources are cited at the bottom of article)
- Caligula (reigned 37-41)
Even if you didn't know that it was Roman Emperor, you've heard his name because it represents and will still represent for many years the personification of the damn thing. From childhood, it goes on steak: it violates his sister, eats cats and it seems even he cheated the ball. Then it's going much stronger since he continued this little trick of incest by marrying his sister, to whom he made a mome. But fearing that it kills one day, he murdered, then ate, the mother (hence her sister) and the kid. In short, a champion. We pass the details on the thousands of people he has encountered simply for having had the misfortune to cross, completely extravagant, expensive buildings he has built for his horse, etc. Last anecdote for the fine mouth: one day he did run the whole family of a guy who had said of him, kind: 'hey you!"Caligula, you're nothing than a Ramesh!" (the trick chiadé what...). Problem, the daughter of this guy was a Virgin, so he could not run it. But this good old Caligula said "no problem the cocos ' and he raped the girl before you cut it in half... She was 7 years old.
- Nero (reigned 54-68)
Then this one my friends, he did not steal his second place.Already, he has poisoned his brother, but that it is only an appetizer since, after many attempts, he managed to do whacked his mother. It also has (and it does not cite any) beheaded his first wife to offer head to the second. The second hit by attention, is also served head to plant its pins to sew. We can say that they have stuff in common and it was the couple that would last, but it has not prevented them to confuse until Nero the fucks tatanes kicked and finishes romp on the fetus she was carrying. Add to this not jojo table, the fact that he took for an artist and forced the Senators to applaud his plays (we imagine the level, a mix between Hitler and Popeck wholesale...) for the geniuses, and you have all of the stamp. Ah, and yes of course he committed suicide.
- Heliogabalus (reign from 218 to 222)
Small problem of identity for our friend Helogabale who wanted to be a woman but who never really have. It has therefore spent most of his short reign trying to find a doctor capable of giving a woman's body and dress-up to insert them in the brothels. Nothing wrong with that, if that young pig had only 14 years and that, aside from banging everything he spent (men, women, even Athenians...), it still rather nothing. Ah if he had to project to castrate him but he spent a long time looking for the method that would make him the most badly hit the project dragged, you know how it is in the building. Short, after 4 years of enfilade and laxity, Rome ended up leaving lollipop and civil wars have multiplied until our good Elagabalus and his mother not be massacred stabbed by an enraged crowd. If it happens, it has well......
- Tiberius (reigned 14-37)
Tiberius is what is called a glandu, a slacker who does ramait not one and that was all the work in the Senate. The senators, who them also not decided not really hours sup', blithely detested elsewhere. One day he had tired of Rome then it is barred to Capri, but do install of huge statues ofLucius Sejanus, the head of his bodyguard, so that everyone understands that now it was friend Lulu who would manage the mark. In Capri, he retired in his huge villa to fully live its passion: the rape of boys. We care as can be...
- Chest of drawers (ruled from 180 to 192)
Really bad, which bears his name. Because it speaks of the type for which a "show" it's fuck all disabled, hunchbacked, and in large all who don't returned not in an arena, so they fuck each other with the choppers (at the same time it can not be worse than the cht'is in Mykonos). Fan of circus games, he liked to chicorer on the arena with the other Gladiators and had his little hobby personally, the slaughter of animals. That is, y' for which it is the stamps, he has he loved decapitate lions in public, once it is is 100 in the same day. One day after having massacred three elephants, he allegedly beheaded an ostrich and brandi head to the senators who were ringside saying "soon it will be you". These same senators have sent his Gladiator preferred to strangle her in her bath. Still, his reign lasted 12 years
- Caracalla (reigned 211-217)
He also murdered his wife and his brother, but it becomes almost logical at this stage there. If you have encountered a person in your family, you are considered a nazebroque branch of the emperors. At Alexandria in Egypt, with small pranksters decided to make a play for fun of the hangover of its crimes. Caracalla, you see, it's the kind to take the fly when one room, suddenly it went has Alexandria itself, gathered about people passing on a place and it all was killed, more than 20,000 people in all. What was not very "Charlie".
- Diocletian (reigned 284-305)
Overall, Diocletian is really considered one of the worst emperors of history. But like most, he had his sin little cute and it his thing, it was Christians, could not be like them. It has locked thousands. And as his small men refused to believe in the Roman gods, in fact decapitate and crucify some (like what this small way of crucifixion lasted several hundred years, it's going to come back a day as Bell-Bottoms pants '). Given that it still not work, he put them in an arena so they do guzzle by the lions, it really made them change their religion but good people loved it, so he continued.
- Domitian (reigned 81-96)
Domitian is a cool guy, except that obviously he spends his time typing of prostitutes (whose niece... which hopefully did not pay, it is not done in family), Whacked guys and kill flies with needles. Y' has that do not hurt a fly, ben him he loved well screwed them properly. But for real he preferred jam guys, and especially the ponte, the bigwig. Obviously, it has come to harm him because he is massacred by a named Stephanus gus who claimed injury in order to hide a dagger under his bandages and assail him with its Gladiators buddies who all went to their small stab. As the saying: "more there are many, it is funny to shlass shots ' types
Even though most of the archaeological discoveries are today easily dated and viewed in a specific context, some excavations sometimes deliver a few surprises and plunge the archaeologists in perplexity. Anachronism, unknown languages, any small doubt immediately opens the doors to the wackiest theories, the city engulfed in the Alien civilization. Some logical explanations seem sometimes more convincing but it lets make you your small mind.
- The Antikythera Machine
Rescued at the offshore Greek in the early twentieth century and dated to the 1st century BCE, this stuff is the oldest history gear mechanism. Complex and extremely fragile, "machin" cannot be removed without being severely damaged and is still under study and modeling today.
Hypothesis: we think it's an astronomical positions calculator allowing to predict solar and lunar eclipses with incredible accuracy, especially as it will take almost 1800 years before such technology reappears on Earth.
- The site of Göbekli Tepe
This archaeological site in Turkey is surely one of the most exciting discoveries of our century, particularly because it does lend itself too wacky analyses of extraterrestrial visitors while lifting nevertheless many questions. These circles formed by huge stones is the oldest known temple more than 11,000 years old. There have been found statues animal reliefs as well as tools and knives, manufactured from a multitude of rocks which suggests that several remote tribes were located here, but for what? Housing? A place of worship? And why the place has t - he was suddenly buried by the man in-8000?
Hypothesis: the main information on this site is that man mastered the construction of massive buildings well before Stonehenge and the pyramids, and this is the most impressive, well before agriculture, contrary to what was believed until now.
- The moai of Easter Island
Even though everybody now knows the Moai of the island of Easter, many are the mysteries that have surrounded and still surround the gigantic statues. Carved by the inhabitants of the island Rapa Nui between 1250 and 1500, the imposing figures were surely respected elders, keepers of the island.In 2011, researchers find that most of the statues is under ground and they also have a body on which are discovered at the moment indecipherable petroglyphs. The greatest mystery however is the delivery of the statues, long considered impossible to move without tools.
Hypothesis: it would seem that the Rapanui have built these statues, using logs to make tools and then to move the sculptures, to the extent that they have over the years destroyed the forest that covered their island at a frenetic pace. When it was discovered in 1722 by a Dutch sailor, Jacob Roggeveen, the Rapanui cult had evolved into the worship of a 'bird man' and statues sculpture had been abandoned, probably due to lack of wood.
- The Voynich manuscript
The Voynich manuscript is surely the most mysterious book of the world behind "squirrels of Central Park are sad Monday" Katherine pancol. It is not known who is the author, it is unclear to decipher the strange alphabet in which it is written, and also is not really what it is short. It dates back to the 15th century, its name comes from the guy who discovered in a Jesuit library in 1912, and it touches to lots of things: Herbarium, astronomy, biology, cosmology, pharmacology, without that we dig well or how or why.
Hypothesis: If several people have expressed the idea of a huge Sham (especially due to the presence of plants and chimeric animals illustrated in its pages) there is no evidence that the Voynich manuscript is a big fake. All we know is that we know nothing.
- The stone spheres of Costa Rica
These gigantic Rocky balls were discovered in the 1930s in Costa Rica in the countryside of deforestation. The guys have pushed them there at the bulldozer to plant bananas, without too much worry the remains they came out. Some geologists say that these balls are composed of rocks that is not in this region which, obviously, has led some people on the track... unearthed such Atlantis, although obviously.
Hypothesis: they date no earlier than from-200 up to 1500 a.d. and would be sculptures created by the Diquis, a pre-Columbian civilization disappeared with the arrival of the Spanish colonists.
- The electric battery Baghdad
No this isn't the name of the smallest Iraqi wrestler, even if you are well forced to admit that it would have the hangover.It is in fact a pottery sherd in 1936 not far from Baghdad and likely originated in the 3rd century. Closed by a plug of bitumen, the amphora contains an iron bar and a cylinder of copper, which is still pretty strange. Add to this the connecting wires and an acid product (lemon juice or salt for example) and you get an electric battery. So, what could use electricity in the 3rd century?
Hypothesis: the most common hypothesis is that stack was used to map objects with precious metals, what is called catalysis. Some jewelry discovered at the time would tend to prove it. Only downside, the lack of wires and much too advanced for the time. The mystery remains...
- Yonaguni underwater structure
Discovered in 1985 by an organiser of tourist dives, Yonaguni structure resembles a Palace, a gigantic close construction of the Amerindian pyramids or the Babylonian Ziggurats. A team of Japanese researchers would have found hieroglyphs, a stone in the shape of face as well as drawings of animals, proving that this is an artificial structure. You start to expect, the voice immediately amounted to speak of remains of an alien city, you can also observe in detail on the video below.
Hypothesis: all geologists who have studied the Yonaguni, however, are not convinced of its artificial origin and argue that it could very well be rocky training created by the plate tectonics and the particular geometry of the latter did not prove anything.
- Klerksdorp logs
Klerksdorp logs are small spherical objects found by miners at a South African mine. These polished spheres that appear to have been made by humans often have horizontal streaks that could very well be a manifestation of primitive art. Only problem, they date from 2.8 billion years ago, IE well before the emergence of modern humans. Very quickly, some researchers call them toOOPArt, for "out of place artifact", objects "out of context", traces of a civilization unknown, not necessarily land.
Hypothesis: as surprising as they are, these spheres would be of natural origin, is in any case that suggest most geologists who have dealt with these intriguing ball.
- The Coso Artifact
Discovered by an American couple in 1961 while seeking of geodes, the Coso Artifact is also often considered to be an OOPArt: why a car candle would be at the heart of an old rock over 500,000 years? The wildest assumptions are then formulated: parts lost by travellers "from the future" full visiting prehistoric civilization vanished as Atlantis and even visit alien, everything happening there.
Hypothesis: the problem is that a single geologist was able to study the stone and that the discovery was recovered by creationists who have used it to disprove the theory of evolution. In all likelihood, the stone was in fact a nodule of iron oxide which formed around the candle while it enrouillaient, possibly in turn covered with clay dried. It is very far from the prehistoric stone.
- The Dighton rock
The Dighton rock is a huge stone of more than 40 tonnes that sat proudly in the bed of a river in Massachusetts. She was withdrawn in 1963 prior to the construction of a dam and placed in a museum. If it intrigues, is that it is on one of its faces of strange markings, (inscriptions on stone Neolithic) petroglyphs which one wonders they come. Soon, researchers say that the primitive drawings resemble Vikings, Portuguese inscriptions or even Phoenician and Chinese, from questioning the history of the discovery of the United States.
Hypothesis: however the theory today accepted by the majority, is that it's actually Native American drawings, other similar symbols that were later discovered in Vermont.
Scientists are advancing the world, discover stuff, manipulate widgets, that is very good. But to discover must be sought, and sometimes it goes in wrong directions. The experiences which we'll talk about you now put in game of social or psychological research that went a little too far and that reassures us not the masses on the goodness and kindness of mankind.
- Stanford experience
In 1971, the psychologist Philip Zimbardo decides to carry out an experimental psychological study on the effects of the prison situation by selecting 24 healthy adult minds and social backgrounds (12 guards and 12 prisoners) and locked up for 3 weeks. Zimbardo made it in the rules: the guardians have truncheons and return home after the service while the prisoners called by numbers roam with chains to go up to the canteen. Zimbardo truffle cameras prison and observes everything carefully, but very soon experience skids and psychologist loses control. Physical punishment, psychological manipulation, sexual humiliation, candidates do not all play. Zimbardo experience takes a turn such that it puts an end before its term, the "prisoners" with emotional disorders very serious. So is something else that the angels of the reality not? 
- The Monster Study
- In 1939, Dr. Johnson, speech therapist, searches for stuttering. The experience is designed to prove that stuttering with learning is decreasing and therefore nothing is definitive. 22 children of an orphanage of Iowa from 5 to 15 years are recruited 10 with the stuttering. They are separated in 2 groups. In the first are encouraged the child, we congratulate him on his progress. In the other is the rebuke at the slightest error. The results showed that children who had received negative feedback were seriously affected psychologically. For some, the quality of speech is even seriously degraded. At this point in 2007 on compensated the family of 6 orphans victims in this study.
- The MK-ULTRA project
MK-ULTRA is an illegal secret CIA project started in 1951 and to mentally manipulate some people by injection of psychotropic drugs and other substances, delusional as LSD. We think that Theodore Kaczynski, also known under the pseudonym of Unabomber (a pipelay American terrorist's bomb) was one of the guinea pigs from these experiences and that they would have played on his mental instability.There also were 4 focused sub-projects on children who are the Fringe series for a small nice fable.
- Tusko the elephant under LSD
In 1962, Warren Thomas, the Director of the Lincoln Park Zoo in Oklahoma City had the bright idea to inject a large package of LSD to an elephant named Tusko. Hidden behind the false scientific pretexts, Thomas wanted to just "show what it was". And to see he has seen since Tusko died almost immediately after collapsing in convulsing.
- The Milgram experiment
In 1963, following the atrocities of the Holocaust, Stanley Milgram questioned the blind obedience of a large majority of Germans. Under the pretext of a learning experience, Milgram asked subjects panel to ask questions to a man attached to a generator of electric shocks and send him one if he is wrong. The man was an actor, electric shocks were fake but all this participants did not know. The result is clear: Guinea Pigs have obeyed commands for the experimenter, even when attached man was screaming in pain."Unexpected and disturbing", this is what Milgram's results said. Not reassuring.
- L'affaire Tony LaMadrid
In 1983, the University of California hired a panel of schizophrenics and asked them to stop their treatment. The experience should help doctors better understand the disease and treat it better. Instead, and as might be expected, the patients had severe relapse, even up the suicide of one of the subjects, Tony LaMadrid, 6 years after the start of the experiment.
The pit to despair
Harry Harlow is a psychologist best known for having led several groups of monkeys often shocking experiences in the 70's. If its scientific approach was founded, it raised many protests to the breasts of the animal protection groups. He isolated from the earliest age of young monkeys in what he called the "well of despair" to see if their reintegration took place normally. Spoiler alert: it was going very badly. Little monkeys became on-stage, autistic and not all communicating with other specimens.

The third wave
If you have seen the very good movie 'The wave' you know surely that it returns. Similar to Milgram in that it sought to study the social mechanics of fascism during the 2nd World War, it was led by Professor Ron Jones on a class of students in 1967. He founded the Group an ideological movement touting the virtues of discipline and community.Students were more motivated, more attentive in progress, quickly showing signs of rejection to those who did not belong to the movement "the third wave". Ron Jones cut short to the project at the end of 4 days, seeing that it completely eluded him.

Homosexual aversion therapy
In the 1960s, homosexuality was often described as a mental illness and social pressure was such that some people were voluntary for cures of "healing". The therapy was worthy of a horror movie: homosexual images were associated with electric shocks and injections began. Of course it worked not at all, leading even to the death of one of the patients after he fell into a coma. Aaaah, the recklessness of the sixties.

The David Reimer case
In 1966 David Reimer is 8 months old. Following a botched circumcision, it underwent a penectomy. Psychologist John Money then advises parents a change of sex for the son, they accept. They were unaware that Money wanted to make David a subject of experimentation, to demonstrate that sexual identity is not innate but acquired. David was renamed Brenda, he built a vagina and administered it hormone therapy. Despite all this, Brenda comporta as a little boy for 14 years, until it reveals to him the truth. He decided to become David and in 1997 underwent breast removal and reconstruction of the penis. David committed suicide in 2004 at the age of 38.
