The Latin on the sign apparently was meant to be "Because We Can". Google translate produces "Quia Non Potest" if you translate English-to-Latin. Discussed on the Girl Genius Wikia. Of course, Girl Genius Wikia is also the home of forensic astronomers who determined that it is Wednesday, March 21, 1894 based on the full moon in the first panel here. www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050624#.VKAUvv8w6U(As if Phil and Kaja have a timeline THAT detailed and Phil actually calculates the lunar phases before he draws a night scene) Uh, guys, the full moon is easy to draw and he wanted a well lit scene. Duh!

Hy heff studied de Latin, und dot iz definitely not right. "non" negates de statement. But if hyu vant proof, if hyu type into google "quia potest" it giffs de same az "quia non potest"= not right. Und if hyu type in "non potest" alone it shows op "can not", vhich iz correkt. Not dot it matterz. Dun vant to argue, mebbe monk Latin iz different den "Real Vorld" Latin. It chust did not mek sense to me in relation to de schtory line ven hy translated it.

It seems that "Because We Can" was most likely what the Foglios intended. Google translate gave them a wrong answer. One of the posters on that site sent the Foglios an email to that effect.
