You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

How complicated is it to wait a day and cut/paste my post?

But, if you want complicated, then try this: 43.12772

How is it survival? When does it become a life-or-death situation to need to know the Roman numerals for something?

Let's say you get thrown back in time, and find yourself owing the mob big time money. The only way to accrue enough money fast enough to keep yourself from 'swimming with the fishies' is to bet whatever money you have on the upcoming Superbowl XXIV. Now, being from the future gives you a huge advantage, assuming you remember two things; one, the outcome of Superbowl XXIV, and two, what XXIV means.

Sure seems like a survival skill now, doesn't it miss smarty-pants?

And Tom, I'm embarrassed that you resorted to using some sort of online thing to calculate your Roman numeral. I really expect better from the originator of this thread.

I'm not in the least bit ashamed dAN. I'm a product of my environment. If you want to figure something quickly ask a computer. I've got one in every room of my house. Until civilization crumbles and those of you who can figure complex equations, exact change and roman numerals in your head rise to power over us hopless dinks, I'm doing just fine. Nuff said. :-)

Hell, for the majority of my married life I resorted to "some sort of online thing" for sex. I think Tom's doing just fine.
