Panem. Bread. The nation is the metaphorical bread to the circuses of the Hunger Games. Duh. (And this is why all the Latin-esque names among the ultra-elite of the city, naturally.)

Yeah. They're kinda missing half that entire equation, but it's good that they, you know, tried. Sorta.

And not two minutes into the first ep (discounting the previouslies), do you know what I hear? "If that would have happened...."

This really merits a poll of some sort, but I have no idea what I'd say in it.

Edit: Oh, come on! There are PLENTY of reasons they could speak Latin! For example, they could simply be well-educated. It's not some obscure language.

These articles come around periodically, they might as well just reprint the old ones.

It's a pity that the last quote is from a boy who now feels that Latin Grammar == English Grammar.

Because I just searched for a quote from Antigone (at least, I thought it was from Antigone, and I was right), and I came up with Professor Dunkle's page. When I searched for Vergil's Bucolics, to check my memory of one line (Vergil eats your brains, be warned), I got Professor Van Sickle's page. I can only imagine what would happen if I searched for Constance Evangeline Baker, I'd probably get the entire classics department at BC, because god knows they didn't have enough fun reciting my entire name...

I'm wondering if Google is trying to tell me something here.... Possibly "stop searching up obscure quotes"?
