Veni, Vedi, Vici?
When I told my family about our discussions about Carpe Diem and Eat, Drink, and Be Merry my little brother brought up a story from his class with Mr. Heiny. He said that they had been talking about Vini, Vidi, Vici and in the beginning had been to told to write down what they thought it meant, as Mr. Heiny was reading the answers he found that one student had written instead of I came, I saw, I conquered; I came, I saw, I sinned. Mr. Heiny flipped out like im sure you all remember him doing and didnt get back on subject for the rest of the class.
