"Oc"

~*~

So, as for the Secret of Oc... the O is pronounced somewhere in between 'oh' and 'ah', a very dark vowel. Very much open and lifted in the soft palate region. Oc may or may not be Ampersand C; I need to take another look at it. But if it is, and that is accepted to mean etc. (I'm fairly sure Christopher Marlowe wasn't interested in Ampersand modules...), it doesn't make much sense.

I shall elaborate. If you read the line as if this were true (translating from the Latin since I can't remember it exactly... Stipendium something...), it would read:
The reward of sin is death. Ha! Rewards, etc.!

WTF??
