A hilarious realisation

[Mini update: junkie monkey by Urban Dictionary: A term used for fat, ugly rock-stars who are addicted to crack.]

I was a big Mr Bean fan once.


I'm sure you remember the opening scene for the original series - a spotlight shines on a cobblestone street, Mr Bean drops down ('cicak style', my dad always says), and a choir sings, while he starts to aimlessly run about.



I was humming the tune to myself today and thought they sounded rather Latin. I did a quick check on what the lyrics were.

Opening scene:
Ecce homo qui est faba
Ecce homo qui est faba

Closing scene:
Vale homo qui est faba
Vale homo qui est faba

Do you know what does that translate to?

Ecce homo qui est faba = Behold (the) man who is (a) bean
Vale homo qui est faba = Farewell (the) man who is (a) bean

Imagining it in English, I found that spit-sprayingly funny. Yeah, I'm weird.
