Hello All,

During an idle moment brought on by receiving an email from a certain university, one which I am attached to, the email contained an outline of their ongoing dire financial straits. When combined with my recent dealings with a specific section of the said educational institution, I decided to develop a possible alternative to their current motto. One which I will not divulge by the way.

So having found on the urban dictionary that ... Urban Dictionary: cloitus (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php'term=cloitus)

1. cloitus - Sexual intercourse between clowns.

So considering the above - ergo would the following alternative motto - choice 1, be a tautology?

Please consider which motto would be the more correct version between

1) Universitatis de cloitus scurrae

or

2) Universitatis de coitus scurrae

Kind Regards
Lionel

Hello All,

After an email exchange with a learned friend I have solved the dilemma over the possible tautology. Oh and by toning down his suggestion a wee bit - the motto could perhaps read

Universitatis de scurrae sterilis coitus

Kind Regards

Hello All,

The previous edit just did not seem to flow smoothly - how about ...

Universitatis de coitus sterilis scurrae

Now to find the artwork of the motto and make some changes ....

Maybe I should use my powers for good instead of evil... The above is a sign that I do have my little ducks all back in a row again :)

Kind Regards
Lionel

You've just made my day, but I wish you hadn't put that thought in my mind. :D:D:D:D I wish I didn't have such a vivid imagination, Bob

G'day Bob,

Mate no trouble at all - it is not a pretty picture is it. Then again we could be charged with Clownal discrimination.

Kind Regards

'Rule 34' is the idea that if there is a subject, theme or idea out there in the world, then there will be porn of it.
I shudder to think.

Anybody who listens to Richard Stubbs ( ABC Radio) will have a chuckle, poor guy has an extreme phobia of clowns...
