Cows Drink Milk.

Sure, but only if they are Lucky.


Romans were a formidable civilization but when it came to numbers, their system was odd.

In order to indicate the number 50 the letter"L" was used ; "C" was 100, "D" 500 and "M" was used to express "1,000".


In order to memorize the ascending order of Roman numerals the phrase "Lucky Cows Drink Milk" might come to your help.


"Luck always seems like it belongs to someone else" says the writer David Levien; in the mean time I'm going to have my latte ( don' forget it means "Milk" in Italian).


Good Luck.


Pier.
