    From Maria Allan@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 8 13:23:37 2020
    I know this is a REALLY OLD thread, but I can't find the answer to this anywhere. We played this game at a party recently, and we got all except the following:

    13 - R. M. with J. C.

    Any ideas?

    Also at the bottom of the page was written A.M.D.G. and nobody knows what that means, either.

    a.m.d.g. == ad maiorem dei gloriam

    which leads me to think j. c. is Jesus Christ [as opposed to julius caesar, johnny cash, jimmy carter, or john cena]

    so 13 is an apostle reference

    Religious Men with Jesus Christ?

    (not very compelling, I know)
