I will not say anything more, if you are Sicilian or understand the Sicilian dialect, feel free to respond to this discussion. How can this Sicilian saying be related to myLot.

I have an idea for Sicilians, and for all Italians on myLot. Scusi per il mia italiano rudimentario, pero ho un'idea per si fare pui soldi su myLot. Lo dico in italiano perchè no voglio che gli altri capiscono. Scriviamo molte cose soto questa discuzione, anche se sono cose inutile... piu scriviamo, piu soldi faremo. E non lo dite a nessuno. Resta tra di noi.

Yes I already heard of those two judges, too bad faith decided to make them leave us so early. Sicily would of been a much more different place today.

I like this idea. Have you ever heard of the judges Falcone and Borsellino. They are true Sicilian heros of their time.

Very interesting saying. This could be related to myLot in the sense that many people are members of myLot because of the potential earnings to be made.

Yes, you have a point, but it could also mean that because people are making an earning of myLot, it attracts others to join too.

I guess you could look at it that way too. Either way, it is the earning possibility that attracts a crowd to myLot. If this site were only to discuss and people could not reap a monetary reward from it, I doubt we would see a lot of people here. This makes the myLot creators very smart.

You both make an excellent point. As pino said, the earning possibility attracts more and more people to this site. Yes, the creators were very smart to do so, or else their site would of just been another public forum on the Internet.

I like this saying, unni cc'è oru, cc'è stolu, where did you hear such a thing, is it the kind of saying your grandfather used to say? I just love hearing Sicilian sayings like this one, they are just so meaningful.

No, it isn't something my grandfather said and actually I do not quite remember where I heard it from; but today I thank the person who told me, because as you said it is very meaningful and true. And I think you can use it in life to make money.

You are right, this saying can absolutely be used to make money in life, it is quite revealing and it tells the truth. Just try putting it in context and you will realize how true it is.

Thanks guys, you are very right, I will think about that. I will try to put it into a real context. It's amazing how easily you can realize things when people explain it to you
