Only for those that listen to the Oily route. Those that don't care to listen should probably disregard the rest of this post:

"Alea lacta est"

means:

"The die has been cast". This post came nearly a month after oily's previous "2 * pi" or not "2 * pi" post which sure sounds as if a deal had been placed on the table. What exactly does "the die has been cast" mean?


"The phrase is still used today to mean that events have passed a point of no return, that something inevitable will happen, i.e., he cannot take back what he has done, much like the gambler who has already thrown the die."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alea_iacta_est


or......


"The die is cast."
by Mark Israel

does NOT mean "The metal template has been molded." It's what Julius Caesar said on crossing the river Rubicon to invade Italy in 49 B.C. The "die" is a gambling die, and "cast" means thrown. The phrase means "An irrevocable decision has been made."

Since this Oily post directly followed Oily's "2 * pi" post, it would seem a deal was agreed to in some fashion (read: handshake since no 8K has been prepared)? It doesn't cost to listen unless you trade on what you hear. Interesting concept...."an irrevocable decision has been made".

Now, do you listen to the co (I call it a headfake) or does oily's description of events hold water?

Slow start weather wise in MI.....but is now conducive to a power walk. GLTA.
