I do have to respect you for being able to run around so quickly without getting tangled. If I had that many legs, I would spend most of my time with them in a knot as I rolled down the street.
As for 'why all the Latin?', I cheated my way through a couple years of it in high school, and actually rather liked it. But what with the unfortunate collapse of the Roman Empire and all that, I don't get to use it as much as I'd like.
And while it still gets plenty of airtime in serious scholarly works, I feel like its overblown-goofball-pretentiousness skills aren't getting the attention they deserve.
