Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur

Or, "Whatever is said in Latin, sounds profound".

This and many other Latin Phrases for every Occasion are over at the BBC's Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy site.

Rather than give the normal Hat Tip, I'll go into detail. While reading Hospice Blog's Grand Rounds (the best of the week's medical blogging), I was referred to a site with an Oxymoronic title : The Cheerful Oncologist. And it was there that I found the link above.

So if you ever think Life is handing you a Turd Sandwich, go read The Cheerful Oncologist to see things in their proper perspective. The world has a million unknown heroes in it.

Oh yes, previous editions of the Grand Rounds are available.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
