Woot! 2000th post! Yay me!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Hey, why does it only say 1,999? It doesn't count General posts?


But ... all my relevant science questions are answered ... I know everything now ... I have nothing left to ask ...
 
I'm so dying here. :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

What a dweeb! That must have been a let down, eh?
 
I think we're out of t-shirts. Pengwuino was supposed to order some but I guess he forgot. Would you like a PF flashlight keychain? I think we still have some in the back, but only the ones with the old logos on them.

Hurry up and say something that counts! (No, GD posts, don't count.)

Surely we have some of the old ground hog logos. After all, it's 1,999th post every post!

Hoot, I've got a question for you. First I thought you were some kind of informal entertainment show. But later, I looked you up and found that could also be an unidentified gadget.

Which one are you?

Well, I based my name on the informal entertainment show (Jools Holland's annual Hootenanny actually), I wasn't aware that I could also be a gadget, interesting... #runs off to research further#

Who says he'll reach 2000?

When Lou Gehrig reached 1,999 straight games, the Yankees planned a celebration for his 2,000th straight game. His wife tried to convince him not to show up for the game. 1,999 would have had so much more of an interesting aura to it in the record books.
