1. Quod erat demonstrandum
Latin for "which was to be demonstrated."

2. It's Latin for "Suck My Dick", which is of course the traditional way...
of declaring that one has made a point.

3. Really? And, yes, that does show a point one's made...
And while all that's a lovely invitation and all, I'm just too far away and I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow for something entirely different. :spray::rofl:

8. Quod erat demonstrandum - what #1 said, but to elucidate, it means
that whatever you have set out to prove has now been proven. It is used a lot in math.
