"Wot's this, then? 'People called Romanes, they go the house?'"
"It--it says, 'Romans Go Home!'"
"No, it doesn't."

Sorry, just had to add that.

"Truth, belief, through the eye" might be more loosely phrased as "Seeing is (now) believing."

And I spelled veritas correctly the SECOND time, the first was just a typo. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
