    How depressing is it that when you search the TCD site for 'motto', the first thing to come up is 'clean as you go'? I mean, I know we're allegedly getting a wider education than just the academic, but really...

    MacDonaldus senex fundum habet, E-I-E-I-O. Et in hoc fundo nonullas bovas habet, E-I-E-I-O. Cum "moo-moo" hic, cum "moo-moo" ibi, hic una "moo", ibi una "moo", ubique una "moo-moo". MacDonaldus senex fundum habet, E-I-E-I-O!

    There's a stert for ya, Randomness.

    And no, I don't do Classics, I'm just weird.

    Hmm... the closest I can get is "Victoribus Trinitas", which sort of means "Trinity to/for the winners".
