It's Latin.

Like the priests say at mass "my father can beat your father a dominoes"?

Can't remember - Getting into my fathers van and releasing the hand brake. Fortunatly my father managed to catch the vehicle as it slowley rolled away and get in and stop it before any harm came.
 
Remember, emulating my electrician father by sticking bare wire into a socket. 240 Volts in to a 1.5 Volt electric motor makes for spectacular preformance. I recall the black mark on the skirting board was there for a while.
 
Remember as screwed up sense of local geography, that eventuially led me to taking a "short cut" home that turned a three quater of a mile walk into a three mile hike!

Hi,
 
In the 50's, at least in Portugal, you did not go to the market to buy meat or bread ... someone was always coming to the door, selling it. One of them, was a very nice "Gypsy" lady that always came with that really big half moon straw bag of meat and mom would get this and that ... and one day, in my head, I saw her coming, and I ran to the kitchen door, and put my head through the window (broke it), and she wasn't there.
Sadly, never saw her again, and even at this late age, I can see her on occasion.

Q.E.D. 

What's "Q. E. D."  .... and you guys like to joke about me saying weird stuff!

It stands for quod erat demonstrandum which is Latin for "which is what had to be proven." The only reason I know that is from math lessons at school when we had to prove some geometrical truth or property and end the proof with "Q.E.D."

 
I studied Latin at school.
 
Not very successfully, I'll give you that.
 
But I did understand Her Maj's famous 'anus horribilis' speech when Barbara Windsor burnt down.

Same, but in Pig Latin.

I haven't done anything weird. Not exactly...
 
I was convinced that I was the only person in the world who was real. I was a lab experiment and every single person on "Earth" was a part of it. The world itself was only constructed and manipulated as a part of the tests, for reasons I couldn't begin to fathom. I was positive that if I moved fast enough, I would catch somebody in the act of creating the illusion of a world. In the car, I would stare out the back to see if I could make out the world tearing apart like a zipper, turning just outside of my field of vision to come around to the front, where it would zip back together at the far edge of the horizon. I'm pretty sure I caught a glimpse a few times. Obviously, I couldn't let anyone know. I had to play along. I suspected that if they found out, my torturers, (posing as my family) would take out all of their hostility on me at once. I couldn't even tell my dogs because you know they can't keep a secret. In addition, they were listening everywhere.
 
Now, when I say that, everyone assumes that I know it's not true. Right. Of course it isn't.

Sounds like the "Simulation Hypothesis"

My personal beliefs definitely are closer to these than they are to any religion or other philosophy.  Heck, last time I didn't even make it to this level!
