A lot of people know that a group of crows is called a "murder", but fewer know that you can only use the term with probable caws.

    Borepatch, I’m a fairly recent visitor. Unless you’re using a hitherto unknown version of Roman numerals, shouldn’t that be CCLXXIV?

    JohnD, I explained this (at somewhat Borepatchian length) here.

    Thanks, Borepatch. Those wacky Romans, they picked up many influences on their own culture from the lands they conquered into their empire. I suspect that many of them were chemical influences, apart from the mead and wine paid as part of the subjugated nation’s tribute.
