I don't have any questions. Just thought this was kind of curious.

Committee approves official Latin motto for Kentucky

FRANKFORT -- The Latin phrase "Deo gratiam habeamus" would become
Kentucky's official Latin motto under legislation approved today by a House committee.

The phrase translates to: "Let us be grateful to God."

And just think... because Latin is no longer offered in most American schools, no one will be the wiser.
