	Just make one very small correction: it's "De gustibus non disputaNdum."

 Thanks for that phrase in Greek, Scot. Very useful! A Greek coworker says that the full phrase is "ta polla logoi he phtokeia." (My sense, though, is that it's in a very modern Greek form.)
 
 My question to you is how you got the Greek letters to show? I use the ASCII table, but have found only a few of them there.

					Something like this is really hard to translate without knowing the register or mood you are trying to convey.
 Nunquam mentior sed indomitus sum = I never lie but I am a barbarian.
 Nunquam mentior atqui indomitus sum = I never lie and yet I am a barbarian.
 Nunquam mentior quamquam indomitus sum = I never lie even though I am a barbarian.
 
 ps. I prefer indomitus because of its modern connotation of indomitable rather than the barbarous connotation of barbarus.

					Why would you get that tattooed on you? Just wondering I have half sleves on both arms and the mandatory MK V on my calf so I have a lot of ink not up there with Bradley,but I have a good amount.IMHO if you want to get something from a movie get the Boondock Saints prayer on you or something besides that you are a barbarian that dosen't lie, what makes you a truth telling barbarian? Again just wondering I allways wonder why people get what they get.

	To those who are offended by tattoos, I would suggest not getting one.  To those who are offended by other people having tattoos, I would suggest walking with your eyes closed.
