Sorry if I'm the only one who doesnt know this.

What does something like MCMXVII at the end of movie titles mean?

Thanks!

They are Roman Numerals. aka numbers. i mean really are you serious?

It's 1917.

roman numbers
they're saying which year move has been made.

this one is 1917 are you sure it was that way?

moving...

Oh! I'm being moved along with the thread!

pao cry

its what number super bowl it is gonna be in a loooooong time.

do you reckon football will still be around?

1917

American football.

yeah american football.

i dont like english football (soccer for all you yanks)

But you agree that seeing as we invented it and called it football, you shouldnt just call it 'sawker'

its called soccer in australia and america and other countrys to avoid confusion.

seeing that the National Rugby League is the main sport in australia, and the National Football League is the main sport in the US, it is easier to call an adopted sport soccer rather than having 2 games called football.


did that make sense?

Kinda actually, I apologise for that.

when was the last time you guys won the world cup? because considering you guys "invented" it, how come brazil kicks major ass?

p.s. dont take that comment serious, its just a joke, but i would like to know when england last one the world cup?

1966, and the inventors aren't always the best at it.... I bet i could whick you're ass at baseball.

im pretty sure you could.

ive never played baseball. ive never even picked up a bat.

You do realise im not american? im actually australian?

but i bet i could kick your ass in golf

Noone beats me with an iron...

so you play golf? nice, i paly about once a week, but i dont have a handicap cause im not a member of any glof clubs, but im getting a membership for my birthday.

I only play casual like, theres no golf courses within about 20 miles of here, I just seem to have amazing luck with some of the shots.

its 1917 for sure

what superbowl are we upto now?

why cant the americans would be nice to dumb aussies and write the superbowl numbers in normal numeric fashion

I love roman letters they are so neat looking!I only know some of them but that is a good question I had no idea either what they meant.JM

Whats the superbowl letters?

XXXIX

is that 39th? or something, im not good with roman numerals, its been awhile.

i think thats right, cause X is ten, there 3 Xs, so thats 30

and then theres IX and that is supposed to mean 1 less than 10 isnt it?

can some smart person tell me if its 39

Thats 39

yay, i was right, year 7 maths is comin back to me

thanks guys ...
I got the roman letter thing which indicates when a particular movie was made,
but whats MCM stand for?

Thx

M means 1000
C means 100
CM means 1000 minus 100 therefore 900
so MCM means 1900

But maybe you mean MGM
that means Metro Goldwyn Meyes and it is a Production Company I think

Oh and by the way read my post before Germany whops Englands ass in Football easily (Real one as well as p()ssy whimp american one)

So what do you call Hacky-Sack?

(Bardock, don't circumvent the profanity filter, mate.)

But I like these ********* stars ********* so much can I please? If I put the stars instead of typing the word would that be okay?

you learn roman numbers in primary school

I learned it in 7th or 8th grade too. Like Binary and those you know

we have roman numbers at the very begining of it
and binary is later.

well I can't remember when exactly, but oh well.

What the hell is hacky-sack?

This should of gone in the movie...


Never mind

Yeah never mind...YOU
Hacky sack are this small thingys you can kick around and try to hols in the air. It deserves the Name Football way more than "American Hockey-without-sticks-or-ice-for-that-matter"

in australia, we call hacky sacks, hacky sacks.

I guess Foster's isn't Australian for Hacky-Sack afterall. Those bastards.

Basically a little leather/plastic ball full of pellets that hippies and "sawker" players kick around. Thus, an ACTUAL football.

whats with americans thinking aussies like Fosters.

Fosters is baaaaad, thats why we export it.

LOL! I was just joking about Foster's being "Australian for..." anything. I guess you guys, like the rest of the world, are Guiness fans.

lol, im only 17, so im not supposed to know.

but ive only had guiness once, only a little bit. i didnt mind it, but i perfer Tooheys Extra Dry

I'm an English ale fan, don't like any of that weak bubbly crap you call beer.

It means:

Mamma Calls Me Xenophobic Virgin In Italian

Oh yea, I forgot that, he's right.

German Beer whoops assssssss.
