20000th Post

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

And,

It also demonstrates a limit in the line length, which would appear to be variable, given the variable length of the 'gaps' in the eggs.

The aforementioned 'gaps' being what I thought were missing eggs in the first place. :eek:

So, as we can see, a slight misinterpretation from myself has provided us with far more information than expected.

The moral of this story, therefore, is that there isn't one, and sometimes things are hit upon quite by chance. :D

Nah, the gaps in the lines have come about as a result of me typing "egg" ten times on one line, copy/pasting it into a block of a hundred, then into a thousand, and then 20k, and then going through and removing the hard returns. Of course, in preview, with that many eggs, it's almost impossible to distinguish a hrt from a srt, resulting in the, uhm, resultant, gaps.

A lesson for us all!
Grrr. Argh.

20,000 posts, eh? I guess this confirms the rumors you're actually a cyborg from the future.

Soooo, shall I start rounding up sacrifices to celebrate the occasion?

It also answers the question "what happened to the comment I made after them?"
Indeed, Watson. However that still leaves us with the mystery of why anyone would want to post "Egg" 20,000 times in the first place...
The answer is too complex for anyone here to solve, so it may yet remain a mystery for all time... :o

So, are we going to sacrifice him or not? The stars won't be in the proper alignment forever.
