I'd say it would be something like this. I haven't checked it at all... so it's probably all wrong, but:

"nostra, qui morbamus, tibi digitum dont"

Morituri digitum tibi dant or Nos morituri digitum tibi damus.

The first one is third person ("those who are about to die..."), but that's how the gladiators said it.

Bitte [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif].
My school doesn't teach Latin [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]. I wanted to take it, too. I took German instead.

Warum mussen wir Latin nicht lernen? Ich mochte auch Latin sprechen, und dann mit ein paar Verwandten kann ich sprechen. Aber, wir konnen Deutsch, Spanish, und Franzosisch lernen. Sprecht ihr Deutsch?

Can any Latin speaker here decrypt the word "Fabulosus"? I know it's got to do with the word fabulous, but I also heard somewhere that it had something to do with epic characters in stories...

Yep. I can't speak it for beans though.
