It could certainly ruin your day.

And I would certainly agree.

de = out
pilo > pilot/guide?
pendet > pendant/pendulum = swing?  

or more likely the "pend" is the same as in ap-pend and de-pend, which would be from the verb ponare? to put/place ?

Possibly wrong on all counts.  No idea what the phrase is.  

I actually took latin for one year in high school, back when it was still being spoken in much of europe, and dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Here is my guess...

de -> de -> from
pilo -> pelo -> hair
pendet -> pende -> hang

De pilo pendet -> Pende de un hilo -> Hangs from a hair = It has reached a critical stage.

fortuna = luck/fortune
fortes = strength
iuvat = um....

there is a saying "fortune favours the brave/bold" which kinda sorta looks like a fit

Darn you Kiwi, I could have translated that one instantly too.

"Fortune Favours the Bold".

Brutum = brute

fulmen = fulminate ("fulminer" in french)

I think to something like "Only a brute gets angry".

Not sure about fulmen, but going off of what Anubis said my guess is Angry Brutes.

Brutum seems like it'd be plural.

Or possibly the brutes are angry.
