I noticed that several people put "Molon Labe" in their sig line. WHY?
It means something like "having come, do take", in New Testament or maybe Classical Greek (I know this much because I'm a classical Geek). At first I thought it was maybe a reference to the last supper, communion and all that, but it's not the phrase that was used (I checked).
So what is it? an invitation for people to take your guns? Perhaps a sarcastic one, like "If you want it come an' get it!" ? And why is it in Greek?
