Isn't it the 24th? Oh well, it doesn't matter. We can still pretend that it's the 44th.

YEAH!

The Sasquatch Teacup!

No problem. Congrats on starting the new Teacup, BTW. I've never gotten to start one. *pouts* But than again, I'm usually not on when it's time for a new one, so that might explain it.

I find Roman Numerals to be very annoying sometimes, expecially when you're watching a movie, and you want to know what year it's made in, and it's in Roman Numerals, but they expect you to be able to read the 80 letters in 2 seconds, especially for old movies. So I usually just Google the movie to find out.

It's easier.

Generally, you only need to look at the last 3 digits on a movie date... most of the other numbers are the same.

but who knows, there could be movies sent back in time from the future and I wouldn't notice those... I'd be sorry too lol

Acalewia · 03-27-2008, 12:23 PM

I have the same problem. Once I get past 10, I'm lost

Oh wow, now the Rule tells you how long you have to wait before posting. Nice

Unless it's from 1988 or something (MCMLXXXVIII).

But you're right, you can usually just look at the last few digits.

Curufin · 03-27-2008, 12:40 PM

Argh, I hate roman numerals too.

Much above 20 and I'm lost.

Then get into all the Ls and Ms and Cs and I'm so confused my head feels like it's spinning...

You get farther than I do!

Curufin · 03-27-2008, 01:16 PM

Not really.

I thought it was 44 too.

YAY!!! I'm not alone! Here, have a drink! *hands Curufin a drink*

Curufin · 03-27-2008, 01:19 PM

*takes drink happily*

Hey, I'm a political scientist, not a mathematician.

I don't have need for such silly things as numbers. Especially Roman ones.

*downs her drink and grabs another*

The Sasquatch of Fangorn · 03-27-2008, 01:20 PM

Political scientist? What's that?

Curufin · 03-27-2008, 01:22 PM

Political science is the study of politics.

My undergraduate major. And what I'll be getting my PhD in, as soon as I finish my Masters' Degree.

The Sasquatch of Fangorn · 03-27-2008, 01:23 PM

wow. you sound like my sister. 25 million years of college!

Curufin · 03-27-2008, 01:26 PM

Yeah, isn't that the truth!

I've only got about six years left, though, so it's getting better.

*decides not to tell how many years she's already been in*

The Sasquatch of Fangorn · 03-27-2008, 01:27 PM

only six YEARS?!

Curufin · 03-27-2008, 01:29 PM

Hey, it's a lot better than when I started...

katya · 03-27-2008, 01:39 PM

I have a feeling I'm going to be in school for a long time, the way I take classes I don't need and always go for a light work-load..

Anyway, I like roman numerals.

I was just thinking about that yesterday.
