You know, that chi rho stuff really makes alot of sense. Everytime my
father use to get really frustrated--this happened mainly when he was
trying to fix something--he would loudly exclaim, "Chi-Rhi-St!!!This damn
thing just won't work!!!" I always figured that was a prayer of some sort. 
Well, it's close to Chi Rho, anyway. 
And the Latin would probalbly be "HOC SIGNO VINCES" since an ablative of
means in Latin doesn't require a preposition.
