The ancient Roman system, which used various arrangements of the letters I, V, X, L, C, D, and M to indicate whole numbers.

Lame. Roman Numerals are a II.

Not only did you take advantage of the cheap gag I passed over, using Roman numerals to indicate 1/2, but you are incorrect. Roman numerals are inefficient and cannot display zero.

I agree with Robin that roman numerals are a 1.

I think it's been written that posts removed by the author are a 1.

Correct. However, post duplication due to Blogger being slow is also a 1. Unfortunately, the 1 or 2 system does not allow us to determine which is worse, so we will never know.

Among other things that have been declared a 1 here: internet anonymity, corduroy, Ann Coulter.
