Mental Floss

The past week, CNN's feature "Mental Floss" feature has had interesting articles.

A couple days ago was a list of five nasty parasites. That was pretty intriguing, if not more than a little gross.

Today was a bit on Latin phrases used in American English. Featured were:

Caveat Emptor
Persona Non Grata
Habeas Corpus
Cogito Ergo Sum
E Pluribus Unum
Quid Pro Quo
Ad Hominem
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
Sui Generis

The last two I actually didn't know. Perhaps I should take up Latin.
