Should tear down Arkham Asylum

[clodia_risa]

It is engraved on the wall:

Non Compos Mentis
actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea
Mors Certa, Hora Incerta
Liberate me ex Infernis
and most ominously

Homo Homini Lupus

Arkham Asylum is an awful awful place.

...I am a man of the men of the wolves? Werewolf?

Death certain, time uncertain... (?)

Free me from hell... (or something...)

I remember so little of Latin it's sad.

Not of sound mind.
The deed does not make one guilty unless the mind is guilty.
Death is certain, the hour is uncertain.
Free me from hell.
Man is a wolf to other men.

I had to look up a couple of them, but I'd heard "homo hominis lupus" before and so knew the translation immediately.

I do not remember as much of Latin as I wish I did. :(
