Latin Motto.

Short Latin sayings have been traditionally used in heraldry as slogans and mottos. Hence Semper fidelis, the Marine Corps motto, Carpe diem, a life motto for Casanova types and Memento mori, a stern reminder to all.

If you desire to make your own Latin motto, but don't want to go back to school and take a Latin course, this set of scripts is designed to offer some help.

in veritate amicitia - scientia sapientes juvat - vita et pulchritudo

Miracle Maker.

Every now and again a story makes it into the news about someone seeing Jesus or the Virgin Mary in their burrito/grilled cheese/potato chips. You can make your very own miracle.

Psychologists class these miracles as pareidolia, the tendency for people to see images in random noise. This same phenomenon is the basis behind Rorschach tests, the face on Mars and seeing figures in clouds.

Fake Cyrillic Text.

This is a little script that converts your text into faux Cyrillic characters by replacing some Latin characters with Cyrillic characters that look similar.

While the resulting text is linguistic nonsense, this technique is sometimes used in books, movies, and video games to evoke a Russian or Soviet feel while conveying a message in English (or another language).

Here's an example:

THЗ GЭИЗЯДTФЯ ЬLФG
