HELP I LOVE ANIMANIACS they put in the most obscure joke and I’m about to explain it to anyone who didn’t take Latin in High School XD

so in episode one, season two the nerd guy in Rome’s last joke before getting mauled by tigers is “Uhm actually ‘warnerus” is a *second declension noun* so the PLURRRAL for the nomanative case would be AAAARGHHHH”

iconic so here’s the declension chart. The columns are sigular on the left and plural on the right

So 2nd is a masculine noun ending in -us in the nomanative case, which is the top one and just used as it’s normal form. The crowd was chanting “Warnerus“ for all three of the Warner siblings and, as Mr. Historically Accurate nerd tells us it should be plural thus being “Warnerī”

so there’s a little Latin lesson today! Thank you writers you’re absolutely amazing for this obscure joke 🙏🙏

memento mori

in a darkening, silent church

where choking incense wafts 

and hearts are heavy with guilt,

the child that I used to be read:

memento mori 

and remembered veiled nuns

teaching me puella, -ae, f.

and knew that these two 

little weighted words meant 

remember you must will die

I remembered that I heeded

the wisdom of this warning,

and began to live as if I’ll die.

at the holy (?) door I whispered:

amen and goodbye
