I'm working up a title for a Call of Cthulhu/Delta Green scenario and I need some Latin fans to check my grammar: "Chaos from the Machine" = "Chao ex Machina" Yes, it's derived from Deus ex Machina but I didn't just want to improperly plug in the Latin word for Chaos. Anyone who's seen "Life of Brian" knows how that turns out. |

What does Deus ex Machina mean ? Day of the Apparatus ? My knowledge of Latin is very poor … |

Deus ex Machina = god from the machine (god is deus; day is dies) Goggle Translate correctly translates Chao ex Machina as chaos from the machine, suggesting that your presumption is okay. I'd definitely check out Google Translate! |
