So, while our century has had its share of shameless lying, we certainly didn't invent the technique. contra felicem vix deus vires habetKAWN-trah feh-LEE-kem wiks DAY-uus WIHR-ehs HAH-bet don't bet against a crapshooter on a roll Publilius Syrus telling us that "against a lucky man a god scarcely has power."
