Actually, you've just found the hidden index.html page of my second Angelfire account! OOPS...to get to the real home page of LBSBA, you have to use the Force (or just click here, which takes you to the non-frames start page).
If you want to figure out the Latin at the opening of the page, be my guest (here's a hint...it's the opening of P. Vergilius Maro's epic poem written in 19 BC and left unfinished at his death...in "english" that would be Vergil's *Aeneid* book one lines 1-7)
| I sing of arms and a man, the first from Trojan shores, |
| Fleeing by fate, who came to Italy and the Lavinian shores, |
| Having been buffeted much on land and on sea |
| By the great force on account of the savage anger of Juno; |
| Having endured (all this) and war, while he found the city, |
| And he brought the gods to Latium, from whence the Latin race, |
| And Alban fathers, and the lofty walls of Rome (came) |
