Countdown to 3 million posts

[Femme_physics]

The most ironic thing is that the 3rd million post would be something in this topic, alluding to the 3 millionth post. I'm pretty sure that will rip a hole in the space time continuum.

What would be even better if a post like this was the 3 millionth post.

Maybe the three millionth post will be a post stating that the three millionth post will be about the three millionth post being a post in the thread about the three millionth post...

1000 posts to go! Anybody wants to make a prediction in what forum the post is going to be? I think it's going to be in academic guidance...

 

[jhae2.718]

I'll guess one of the Homework Help forums.

It'll be a crackpot post or spam. :tongue2:

779 to go!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

779 to go!

778...

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

678!

Wait, that equals approximately

8.65e+1626

 

[jhae2.718]

646

Not too much longer!

 

[micromass]

596

But don't be too excited: By Zeno's paradox, we will never reach 3000000 posts

 

[jhae2.718]

But we'll converge on 3000000 posts!

 

[micromass]

Well, we'll probably reach 2999999,9999... posts, but would we have reached 3000000 then?

 

[jhae2.718]

We could get to three million just by arguing the 1 = 0.9999... thing; there's always someone who contends it's false.

 

[Evo]

Being the risk taker that I am, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that we'll hit 3 million today.

 

[jhae2.718]

You're going out on a limb there, Evo.

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

If it breaks, make sure you're wearing a parachute.

Do GD posts add to the total PF post count?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Do GD posts add to the total PF post count?

yes they are counted

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

yes they are counted

Yay!

So that means I can post in Lame Jokes and if its 3mth one I will be the absolute pwner of Lame Jokes!

 

[jhae2.718]

411 to go!

 

[Drakkith]

So close...

 

[Char. Limit]

Only about 300 posts left!

 

[jhae2.718]

225 posts left.

 

[Char. Limit]

I have an idea. No one post anything for the rest of the day.

Why? So we can delay this to Saturday.

 

[jhae2.718]

About 140 now...

Oops. :)

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

Why delay it till Saturday?

 

[Char. Limit]

Why delay it till Saturday?

Oh, no reason... I'm especially not trying to eliminate competition or anything.

 

[Redbelly98]

118 to go! Uh, 117 now.

 

[FtlIsAwesome]

Sneaky.

 

[jhae2.718]

Still fairly low odds too get the 3e6-th post.

 

[jhae2.718]

109 to go...

[Edit: anyone else notice that sometimes post counts and such take a while to update?]

 

[Drakkith]

This is like new years, but without the time zones!
