Uh-oh! That's comin' up! I should start postin' heavily again!

Ooo, since I'm unemployed and not in school, can I turn all the data into pretty pie charts and line graphs?

This is my 12345th post.

To make it especially memorable, I have put exactly 100 words in this post and made sure that the big letter Q is the 67th word. That way, I can claim that the comma after the Q is about 67.89% of the way through this post. Which means that .6789 of the way through my 12345th post is this big letter Q, making it my post number 12345.6789!

I've probably taken the science of post counting to a new low, but I had only one chance to celebrate the pattern in an appropriate way! :grin:

Doctor Q, you never cease to amaze me. :D

Awesome Dr. Q.

Now I think I will go soak my brain in something... :p

BTW, I just realized that if you take 10,000 posts away from your post count, you still have me beat by a few.

I've run an analysis of all of your posts and found that the average words per post is 100.0054272985. Based on that, this post was not only your 12345th post, but likely ended with your 1234567th word.

I think you put far too much emphasis on your post count and ranking. Take it easy, it's not a big deal. :p

Of course, I suppose that's easy to say coming from members like myself and mad jew who have so many posts we just don't care about such trivial things anymore. :) :cool:

There is one and only one reason for that: Your posts have to travel farther to the servers on the U.S. east coast, so they don't accumulate as quickly.

Tee hee. Unless you get banned in which case your post count will stay static and katie can beat you silly. :p

Maybe you should multiply the post count by distance travelled in the next report. :p

Can you imagine :eek: mad jew would become a Conroe processor by the time you extrapolated post count x miles to Oz...

Before the Internet, each forum post would have had to been hand-delivered. Of course, gas prices and airfare were lower then.

Did anyone else think that the lines of that pie chart's suggest a slight Q shape?

I was thinking Pac-Man, but now that you mention it, I can see the Q. Subtle homage to the master.

cue every sub top 50 poster posting flaimbait after every post i make.

to my knowledge i've only been modded twice, probably more often, but meh, once when i said vinow was a dyke, which i was not aware had negative connotations, and annother time when DR Q PM'd me, but i cant for the life of me remember what it was about, i think i called someone a retard or something :eek:

Yeah, personal insults are a no-no. And being the MacRumors Bastard, I was probably the one who reported you too. :p :D ;)

Just think before you post and you should have no problems being in the Top 50. Good luck to you! :)
