can you believe after so many years of using french’s “c'est la vie” because the nuance doesn’t translate, we’ve finally obtained a flawless translation with “that’s just the way it is on this bitch of an earth"

In her essay Tik Tok the great philosopher Ke$ha declared that ‘the party don’t start till I walk in.’ which is clearly meant to convey that any recreational gathering is not truly a party until Ke$ha herself arrives.
But what if Ke$ha were to leave the party for some period of time only to then walk in again? This paradoxical scenario in which a party must simultaneously already exist and not exist yet is known as Ke$ha’s Quantum Party and has stumped theoretical physicists for decades.

reasons why people think you should learn both latin and ancient greek: they are remarkably similar languages which have a vastly intertwined history and corpus of literature, and learning them together can give you a better understanding of their literary traditions
the real reason why you should learn both latin and ancient greek:  so you can enjoy the fact that they both have a word that means “to fart at someone as a sign of contempt or mockery”
