After the Romans killed every man in Carthage, they sold the women and children as slaves, looted and burned the city, and finally plowed up the fields and sowed them with salt so nothing would ever grow there again. When applied to spammers, those Romans had some good ideas!

An interviewer asked Uncle Romulus how he knows he actually exists. "Caedo, ergo sum," he replied. ("I kill, therefore I am.")
Latin is an easy language to learn. If it's a verb, it probably means, "To kill." (Decimate = kill every tenth person, for example.) If it's a noun, it probably means war or something related to war.

The gates of the temple of Janus were kept open in time of war and closed in times of peace. It is said that the gate became a regular thoroughfare.
