> Sic transit gloria mundi. It means "so passes the world's glory" --
sic = "so" as in "so is it always for tyrants" which John Wilkes Booth said before he shot Abraham Lincoln (Sic semper tyrannus). transit = passes or goes (obviously they based the Latin word on our English word, before inventing their time machine to go back 2500 years) gloria = glory -- like the U2 song -- or glory to God in the highest (Gloria in excelcious Dieu)... forgive all spelling errors which are cleverly intentional as sublime satire... yeah... right... :-) -- much like Bono must be short for Bonobashi :-) mundi = like "spiritus mundi" from the opening track of Synchronicity by the Police Like many things, popular music has the answers. :-)
