Bizarro: Roman Chariot Bumper Sticker

It's Friday and so it's time for our weekly Bizarro feature - for those who are going to college soon, congrats! (And to their parents, our sympathies). And yes, it should've been Roma, but why be picky?

For more Bizarro, check out Dan Piraro's website and blog.

Te amo, Evil Pundit.

I think a better translation would be:

"Filius et pecunia mihi universitatem Romae adeunt."

Although it was normal for a person to seek opportunities in Rome, I believe the fashionable schools were still in Athens.

It's horrible Latin though, which makes it not funny.

"My little one because my travel money I petition Rome university"?

I'd expect Piraro to be a bit more thorough than that.

And clue #4 is the large casing length for a 4.5mm projectile, indicating that an increased amount of propellant is required, which would be the case for a bullet fired in a much denser medium, like water.

Too easy! Clue number one "special environment". Clue number two was what appears to be a sheath for a diving knife in the background of the photo.

It's a gorgeous firearm, though!
