    singwell-is off researching a lot

    It means "I came I saw I conquered" in Latin. Julius Caesar said it when he conquered Britain. Of course, as was commented in the book "1066 and all that", what he really said was to call the Celts "Weeny weedy and weaky" and they simply gave up...LOLOL

    Then again, there is the famous modern version: Veni Vidi Visa...I came I saw I shopped. LOLOL
