Prayers to the Roman Gods: Mars

In all honesty, not my favourite god.  I prefer less... well, less martial divinities, you know?


Prayers to the Roman Gods: Ceres

One distinction between how we think of nature and how the Romans thought of it, is that we only have Mother Nature, while the Romans had Terra (or Tellus) and Ceres, who represented different aspects of what we call the natural world.  So as Ceres is more focused towards agriculture - 'developed' nature, if you will - I made her prayer something you might expect a farmer to say.

Surprisingly enough, I didn't translate this one because I like Fallout.  It's because it was the next song with words on my playlist in Winamp.  And it was on my playlist in the first place... because I like Fallout.


Doctoris Oratio ab "Linea Plana"

I have to admit, this is one Doctor you don't want to have angry at you.  He's got a lot of repressed anger, hasn't he?
