Memento Mori

Do you know what "Memento Mori" means?

Well, it's "remember you will die" in Latin.  I first encountered this phrase while reading "Austere Academy" by Lemony Snicket <- weird name, huh?

Anyway, this phrase was thought to be used by Romans during their parades after winning a battle and such.  Weird, huh?

You can read more about it here.
