The Little Observatory

May 6th, 2009 by Walmik

Rig heard from someone about the Bermuda Triangle that whoever went to that part of the world, never returned! Rig wondered, ‘then how did they come to know of this place?’

In other observations, Rig noticed that in the non animated Walt Disney produced films (eg. Pirates of the Caribbean) where the Walt Disney logo is actually animated with the whole castle thing and the cityscape and the stars all forming with a zoom out from the topmost flag of the castle, the semi circled stars form from right to left, but in the animated films of Disney its from left to right. (I have not checked this, but it could be true)

And the last thing he observed in the recent days is whether Xerox is the only company that makes photo copiers?

Rigved just told me what could be the reason for denoting ‘C’ for 100
and ‘M’ for 1000 in the roman numerals. C stands for century and M
stands for millennium!

I checked out Wikipedia and saw that the number
100 is called centum(latin) and the number 1000 is called mille(latin) and the origin of the word Century is centum and the origin of the word Millennium is mille!

The name for this post was suggested by Rig
