Latin, you were lucky. Why, when I were a lad we had to cope with

Assyrian? Assyrian? When I were a lad we had cuneiform tablets and Linear

Aye! That Rosetta Stone were a right little cracker weren't she!?
I wonder what she's doing nowadays?


She was never the same after I hit her over the head with my club and
