When you’re traveling, you’ll inevitably encounter writing that you can’t understand. You will piss people off if you continually ask “What does that mean?” Especially here, at the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) in Lucerne. A couple dozen of these images remain after some unruly flames decided to have some fun:
It doesn’t matter what the words say, so don’t bother reading them. The orange does its artistic duty and lends a halloweenish aura to the Latin and the skeleton… and even to the skeletons in the bridge’s second picture.
And that’s exactly what a “Chapel” is supposed to involve. Skeletons and Halloween.
How can you say ignore the words after someone spent a considerable effort thinking what to put there? It could be the answer to everything and you just brush it aside. The future of the planet may depend on what is written there. Please reconsider and save the world. 😀
Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc!
I’m glad to hear it!
stop pissing people off in the chapel 😛
Maybe that’s what the Latin means…

Actually, I just fell in love with, “Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc!” It fits my life right now exactly. Wow.
I assume you know where it came from
I don’t. I’d love to know!
Addams Family
Fits. I was born on the same day as Charles Addams. 🙂
January 7, 1912?
40 years later. 🙂
I would hope so 😉
There’s a book I found ages ago that informs people about their nature based on their exact birthday. I was born on the (so-called) “Day of Unusual Happenings” and I share a birth day with Charles Addams and William Peter Blatty. I imagine the book had an editorial bias as it didn’t list anyone else for that day. I’ve since learned we share the date with St. Bernadette of Lourdes. :((
If only I could reveal personal info here you’d get a huge laugh out of who I share a b’day with…
Dang… I could sure use a huge laugh right now. Maybe you could cryptically allude to it in a coded message.
