Maybe the Admins will offer some prize/recognition for those who guess the closest time before midnight tonight?

First/Second/Third and LAST prize(for the one furthest away) ??

For the number crunchers here . .

HAVE FUN!

Keep it that way.

Thanks for the heads up. Glad to do my part, and glad to see us pissed as hell and talking about it.

Thank you, Mods!

:kick:

:rofl:

I've heard that when DU hit's 40 million posts, there is a chance that micro-blackholes will be produced
that will coalesce and destroy the world.

:scared:

HAHAHAHA!!!!

I live about 400 cliks north of Toronto

looked at this as chance to finally try to figure out the Time() stuff in Excel.

Probably screwed something up.

But really depends on crazy shit like the market and scheduled greased hog races involving Palin.

(Yeah saw this after midnight, but no clue where ya look for total posts, so going by your last number).

(Oh edit: we are still daylight time I think, anyway 4:15:24 pm NY. -- And yeah I now see it's on main page, 39,985,823. But I've run out of rum--fuel for any serious number crunching at this hour if you ask me, so sticking with earlier calculations.)

CONGRATULATIONS!

Didn't anticipate Mcsame trying to dodge the debate. :shrug:

Checked it out in Excel.. based on your data that's the best possible estimate.

It'll be about 3pm my time and I'll be drivin a bus... I'll try to remember to honk real loud for no apparent reason

:7

Be sure to do it behind someone with Republican stickers on their vehicle! :evilgrin:

Inquiring minds want to know.
