3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right.

List Of National Lampoon Films
During the 1970s and early 1980s, a few films were made as spin-offs from the original ''National Lampoon'' magazine, using some of the magazine's creative staff to put together the outline and script, and were cast using some of the same actors that performed in ''The National Lampoon Radio Hour'' and the stage show ''National Lampoon's Lemmings''. History The first of the "Intercontinental Lampoon" movies was a made-for-TV movie called ''Disco Beaver from Outer Space'', broadcast in 1978. The second, and by far the most successful film, was ''National Lampoon's Animal House'' (1978).

Produced on a low budget, it was so enormously profitable that from that point onward for the next two decades, the name "National Lampoon" applied to the title of a movie was considered to be a valuable selling point in and of itself.
