Your Whole Town Will Suffer for Its Mistreatment of Wizards
Your town is through. I have seen the way you treat wizards, ostracizing and abusing them, and I am here to repay your unkindness. Your first mistake was to challenge a wizard. That is also your last mistake. Wizards such as I will permit you no mistakes when it comes to ill treating wizards. For some I will simply kill you. Wives and daughters will be imprisoned in magic gems. I will raise snakes to slither upright and wear clothes. There will be a legion of stone men, carved from basalt and powered by crystals that glow with magical energy. I will conjure all of the skeletons from all of the graveyards and make them chase you and vex you at night. My familiar is an owl so I will call upon all of the owls in the community and the surrounding woods and I will grant them the power to speak in a child's voice. The owls will gradually learn your language and plague you with childlike calls for worms and mice. Some of you I will make invisible. Anything can happen. - The Revenging Wizard

How Do You Say 'Hot Dog' in Latin?
REMEMBER your ninth-grade Latin lessons? Here's a test: What is an ''escariorum lavator''? Or a ''birota automataria levis''? Doesn't sound like Horace to you? The Vatican has for the first time published a single-volume edition of its Latin-Italian dictionary, the Lexicon Recentis Latinitatis, and it includes not only divine diction but modern terms that have had no equal in Latin -- like pornographic film, which has been translated into ''pellicula cinematographica obscena.'' The lexicon, published last month, is a 728-page monster dictionary, which had previously been published in two volumes, A to L and M to Z. Available in bookstores around the Vatican, the dictionaries are selling briskly, said Giuliano Piva, a salesman at the Ancora Bookstore in front of St. The Vatican Latin Foundation (Fondatum Latinitas), which put the book together, is already working on a new edition, due out in a few years, according to Pietro Villa, an official with the foundation.

Filmmaking Tips
Even if you don’t buy into the game and you prefer not to live in a world in which the term “Oscar snub” is used with a straight face, sometimes a lack of recognition for worthy nominees can still sting a little. Such was the case with the conspicuous absence of Sarah Polley’s name when the Best Documentary Feature nominees were announced two weeks ago. After two strong narrative explorations of romantic relationships in the bitter winter of old age and the summer splendor of late youth (Away From Her and Take This Waltz, respectively), Polley redirected her interest in the world of human coupling by turning the camera on herself – or, more accurately, her family, or, even more accurately, who she thinks may be her family, or… Well, just see it if you haven’t already, because Stories We Tell is one of the more passionate, involving, and incisively intelligent mainstream documentaries to be released in quite some time.
