Marcus Tullius Cicero. Mark "SisQó" Andrews. Two very different people you are unlikely to confuse, but their similar names make for a catchy internet quiz title. So can you tell who said what?
- Cuiusvis hominis est errare; nullius nisi insipientis, in errore perseverare.
- I didn’t mean to tell lies, didn’t mean to make you cry, baby girl Ipologize.
- I like it when the beat goes “da na da na”.
- De duobus malis minus est semper eligendum.
- In amicitia nihil factum est, nihil simulatum, id est verum et voluntarium.
- I thought the Dragon would never see the day when the East Coast the West Coast the South all in together on a common thing infatuated.

Meaning “anyone can err, but only the fool persists in his error,” this ancient drivel is classic Cicero. If you answered “SisQó”, you may be thinking of his completely different lyric, “We’re going straight to the Wild, Wild West. We’re going straight to the Wild, Wild West.”

SisQó’s hit single “Ipologize” expresses in a single word all the regret usually expressed in two separate words. Cicero really doesn’t do this kind of thing.

SisQó was the first singer brave enough to share how he feels when the beat goes “da na da na”. Fun fact: historians don’t know how Cicero reacted to beats that go “da na da na”.

Cicero again uses Latin to make the obvious seem profound. It’s a lazy technique that we see all too often in early philosophy, and not enough in 90s R&B.

Tough one. This is SisQó, misquoting Cicero to his Dru Hill bandmate Larry “Jazz” Anthony during a heated debate on the nature of friendship. It’s fair to say this didn’t calm Jazz’s temper! Not one little bit!

Cicero and SisQó both said this, separately and by coincidence.
Wow. This wasn’t meant to be a difficult quiz. Your punishment is to sit through the entire video clip for ‘Unleash the Dragon’ until we tell you to stop.

An acceptable result, but you have to ask yourself whether this quiz was a worthwhile use of your time. Cicero and SisQó could hardly be more different, so your ability to distinguish between them is not something you should brag about on social media (but don’t let us stop you).
