This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon was clearly not in choir. Any singer would know it's "deh oos", not "day us".

Still sounds like "day o' sex", but from Northern England or something

If a British professor doesn't know his basic Latin, that's even was.

Deus Ex Machina is like one of the most commonly known Latin phrases, along with Veiny Viny Vici

You triggered some really awful memories just now. I thought I had them buried, but you just exposed them to light and now I have to deal with them.

I believe it should be "In excelsis deo, but "dominus deus". Something about Latin endings stuck in my mind from those days too.
