What's >"that's a 30!" mean? > Hi Mike, Well, in the old-old-old days, newspaper reporters used to end stories (I THINK stories they were sending by telegram, but I'm not 100% on that) with XXX to indicate that there was nothing else coming. After a while, the triple-X got "slanged" into its Roman numeral equivalent of "30". There are a few other theories about why "30" is used, but that's the one I heard first and most often. - Matt
