I'm sure if curiosity had the bare-faced temerity to step on your hearth
you'd strangle it to breathlessness and send it home with a flea in its ear.
Now, youngster, what WAS the fuckin' question?

Since an attempt to translate it into English produces only gibberish, I will hazard a guess that it should be:
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Really? Given the lines between reality and fantasy are seriously blurred on this thread can you confirm or is this a guess?
Seriously I'm just curious.

Just a guess. As I say, an attempt to translate it online produced something only Photo-taker might have understood.

Sorry, big guy, with all the probs here last night I didn't read the original q.
It's a quote from 'Gargantua and Pantagruel' by Rabelais, a French comic
writer of the 16th c. Alas, he wrote in Latin only. The story is a bit like
'Gormenghast', if that rings a bell, but his point at the time was to slag-off
the then Church 'Establishment'.
Pantagruel enters a tower where there is an ecclesiastical library and he reads
out the titles- one of which is my tag. In Medieval Lat. it translates roughly
as "a most subtle question: whether a Chimera buzzing like a bee in a bottle
is capable of devouring puns". AFAICT it's a piss-take of the 'learned' men
of the time who were SERIOUSLY arguing about exactly how many Angels
could dance on the head of a pin...... !!!!!
Completely meaningless, like most of my posts.
