Latin phrases upon exit[edit]

These phrases might appear from other inputs in the interpreter; I wrote down the commands I put in and was able to repeatedly get those results.I think we should include a section on these phrases; if anyone knows more about this subject feel free to weigh in.

When the user exits the interpreter it prints a line of text in latin: "Fortitudine vincimus." which translates to "Through endurance we conquer" Which is likely a joke regarding how tedious the scheme language can be. This phrase appears when any commands other than display are used, or when more than 5 commands are used.

When only using the (display ) command it prints phrases such as

"Happy happy joy joy!" - printed after only one command is run

"Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam."- printed after 2 commands. Latin for "Carthage must be destroyed" link

"Pulvis et umbra sumus." - printed after 3 commands. Latin for "We are dust and shadow". link

"Post proelium, praemium." -

"..#]^@^@^@ NO CARRIER" after 4 commands. bug?

"Moriturus te saluto." 5 commands
