Hoc Est Corpus Meum

I learned this today. "Hoc Est Corpus Meum" is a Latin phrase used during the Roman Catholic Eucharist. It means "This is my body". During the Medieval era most priests were not formally trained and didn't know Latin. Over the years the phrase was corrupted, as was the meaning of the Eucharist. Eventually the phrase became "Hocus Pocus" and the event was only understood to be some sort of magic ceremony.

Never knew.

Thats interesting....But it kinda makes the words hocus pocus less cool..

I pulled my name off a rap song.

When I buy games and begin playing I get my names from something around me, so I just happened to be listen to a random track when I heard that name.

Most of you think of the Disney movie, which wasnt a bad guess cause that blonde chick was smoking.
