Res ipsa loquitur is a legal term from the Latin meaning literally, "The thing itself speaks" but is more often translated "The thing speaks for itself".
"Res ipsa loquitur, sed quid in infernos dicet?"
("The thing speaks for itself, but what the heck does it say?)

I don't know what it means but i'm almost positive that it's Latin. I'm sure if you go to a search engine you can find a Latin translator.

I think that would be Latin. Something about living in hell-I think.
