	In Response To: Rubicon Volunteers - Mendacium Ex Machina (Steve Levinson) : I do not know if there is some historical meaning : of this phrase or if it is from a story. I think they're just playing on "deus ex machina" ("God from the Machine")... so the literal translation would be something like "(a) lie from the machine" or "deceit from the machine." Although "Lies from the Machine" would sound a lot better in English.
