I love them. I took Latin in HS and college, mainly because my accent in French was so excruciatingly bad that I wanted to switch to something where pronunciation didn't matter. (Years later I realized my French teacher had such a thick Bulgarian accent that he was almost incomprehensible in English. I'm sure he had a horrible accent in French, too, duhhhh.)

I'm trying to think how to use these at a party without making Latin fortune cookies. Is there a game to be played with them? Give everybody a Latin phrase and an English translation and make everybody find their translations?
