  I wonder what the world would be like today if the Romans had ruled it all these thousands of years.  :orly:

"Godlike" is "divine" in English, because one vocative form of deus, "god" in Latin, is dive.

Ō! is an interjection being a vocative particle in Latin. However, for words lacking a special vocative form it may also be followed by the accusative.

  That's why  "dive"  bars are so popular here in America!    :fiveshots:    We are a very devout country!

Happiness is like peeing in your pants

Everyone can see it but only you can feel its warmth

The Romans only counted hours during daytime. The day had twelve hours, but since they counted from sunrise to sunset, the hours were shorter in the winter and longer in the summer.

In the afternoon it is pretty simple to convert Roman time to modern: you just add six hours. Roman noon was six o'clock. It's more complicated in the morning, but one o'clock is usually between five and seven A.M.
